To An Old Man Whose Doctors Believe That His Death Is Imminent

I am instructed to tell you this:  You shall enjoy being queer

(and revel in the designator) the more closely you draw near---

to your departure, most likely sometime this coming year.

And why did I, just now, think of the number seven?

That many weeks, that many months to Christ's effulgent Presence in Heaven?

Departing this world and circumstances as they are

to orbit, intimately close, that Bright and Morning Star;

Christ Jesus, our regnant Redeemer, God's only Begotten Son,

Who described Himself as the Star, the Bright One, the Morning One.

To An Old Man Whose Doctors Believe That His Death Is Imminent

"But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father" -- Matthew 24:36

Thank you very much for this

Thank you very much for this first comment of the new year---a year which brings a huge personal significance for me.
