PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Jesus, may You be always, ever, praised.
Thank You, Lord, that my body will be raised
from death by You; although I am not worth
the effort.  Still, You gave Your life for me
that I, too, might enjoy Your sure Salvation,
redeemed from prospects of damnation.
By Your Grace, I shall soar starward from earth,
to You in Heaven.  Though, in this world, tears
may torment me at night, Your lighted morning
brings joy again.  And all my petty fears---
and all the terrors of those fears' suborning---
are banished by that Promise You have made---
those gentle words You speak, "Be not afraid".

I love the Orthodox Faith, Joy of the Common Salvation

which is, and shall be, my soul's chief exultation

among the redeemed of the Orthodox Church, that great congregation:

upon these, oh my soul, set your poetry in jubilation.

Starward, an Orthodox Christian
