Cling on, cling on, you arrogant sumbitch:
in the light of Love's eternity, you are a momentary glitch.
I will, rather, concentrate on my life's blessings
since even before I was an adolescent:
blessings not merely past, but always present.
Earthly troubles become mere window dressings
as I look to the Orthodox Faith that testifies
to the Glory, and Joy, and respite from pain in Christ's Paradise,
where all tears will be wiped away
in that Kingdom beyond and above the vast star fields' array.
