Whenever worldly hurts and cares intrude,
seek out the wisdom given Brother Jude:
in verses seventeen through twenty-five
that show me how to keep my faith alive
and well (in moments of declension,
or the constant storms stirred by contention---
continual droppings). But my mood,
restored by his words' intervention,
will soar back to its spiritual attitude.
