L-ight in
I-magery
V-ividly shines,
E-ndorsing sunrise as twilight resigns.
B-eacon after night begins to ascend,
L-etting the dark
A-nd the dusk
K-indly
E-nd.

Impressions are made when words stay constant.
Image defined when you see me as I am.
Principles instilled when words reflect the image.
People decide when they live both.
Truth resigns when you assign which.

Pope Benedict will leave his post,
A move unprecedented.
This news has come as quite a shock
To those he represented.
The Pope before him to step down,
From info I could glean,
Was Gregory XII, who left
In – yes! – 1415!
No wonder headlines blast this news,
For even laymen’s ears
Must hear how jolting this must seem –
It’s been six hundred years!
The Church will locate someone new
By searching ‘round the globe;
And surely they will find the man
Deserving of that robe.
Yet even though his subjects bow
And kiss his Papal ring,
I think that being Pope must be
The world’s most stressful thing.
The problems in the Papacy
With which a Pope must cope,
Seem so colossal, candidates,
When asked, should just say “Nope!”
