+ 1ST POEMS: Written On Receipt Of A Letter
The letter just arrived from Italy,
and tells us that our brother, Timothy,
was blessed by God and set at liberty;
Yes, God's will, and not just some random fluke:
and whenever he likes, he may leave Rome;
yes, of late, Ephesus has been his home.
The letter said we should give earnest heed
to those assurances that we have heard---
declared to us by Christ, God's Holy Word,
Who ministers to us in every need.
Wherever we are---any time or place---
we may boldly approach His throne of Grace
for help in trouble. So wrote Brother Luke---
using his customary eloquence
to share his spiritual experience.
