In my life, narrow margins matter
Opening my eyes wide
To better perspectives which don’t flatter
Dispensable pride riding on the tide

because the voice of God they obey;
and their names, unknown to us,
are spoken by Him with kindness
and carried on the...

Than evil tongues and their snag wag

than this shrill,
malicious music
that offers us
