At The Three Fountains; Two In Conversation
[to Lady Rae]
You were Paul's doctor and his closest friend.
You traveled with him many miles and years.
I knew him, as his lawyer, toward the end,
just after he had led me to belief
in Christ. Paul's courage quelled my fretting fears
of this lost world's dark ways, and the distress
it causes. Paul's firm hope has calmed my grief.
For absence, and not death, I shed these tears:
Paul is not dead; just absent; with the Lord,
and happier to be there. None the less,
I miss him. But I know now to look toward
that final gathering to happiness
into which all the faithful are received---
all who, like Paul, have trusted and believed.
