[Matthaeus 5:7, Biblia Sacra Vulgata]
The onward, ongoing progress of your poetry
calls us to a new understanding of morality;
to new awareness of empathy;
and toward all of life, a vigorous courtesy.
You prompt us to eschew all cruelty,
that stubbornly innate streak of human perfidy.
Between past and future, presently,
we can---we must---improve our fidelity
to the servant-leadership that can be
the glory of our thriving destiny---
as bestowed upon us by the Divinity.
You remind me that a change of attitude
is never too late; nor is gratitude.
