Deliverance I Declare

Deliverance I declare
from the din of desolation
from the clutches of despondency
no longer this mind divided against itself
no longer this body possessed by deception
no longer these eyes blinded by deceit
no longer these ears deafened by despair
no longer this spirit quelled by dejection
Deliverance I declare.

Rose Marie Raccioppi
