Yet [*/+/^] : Zealous To Compose My Epitaph [Repost]

 . . . dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.

---Colossians 3:3

 

"O mihi tum quam molliter ossa quiescant.

vestra mios olam si fistula dicat amores!"

---Vergil, The Eclogues, X

 

Although the world and the flesh gave me birth,

I was called by Christ, the Bright and Morning Star,

to be saved by Grace through Faith; then, He led me,

to the joy of assured salvation.

I will someday depart, Heavenward, to Him:

despite my many flaws and deep perfidy,

Redeemed by God's almighty Son,

To Christ's Heavenly Kingdom, starward, I shall soar,

redeemed to the privilege of being a Christian---

but a most unworthy one,

having returned at the eleventh hour.

I am the most minor of minor internet poets;

my poems witness to the Gospel

and have praised the abundancy of

mercificul Grace,

while singing, in jubilation

the cosmos, the stars, and the elegance of exquisite Love.

 

Starward, a saved and baptized Christian
