...pen in hand... love's ardent command.
and here this pen in poet's hand
wherein is heart's command
a smile, a gesture, the warming sun
a creed, a mission, a task now done
'tis not what I alone to answer nor unfold
the pleas of need be too, your story told
all awakens for the vision yet held
purpose and right intention in glory meld
with word and reach and Faith in command
and here this pen in poet's hand
expressive of light and heartfelt love
be the blessings supernal of heavens above
visions of resolve and peace there be
in the bounty of love from sea to sea
a thought, a knowing, from vistas far
ever the light from a distant star
and awakened we be to the sun rising new
life in glory, in grace bestowed upon you
and I a poet with pen in hand
beholden to love's ardent command.
