Thank you, kind Sir, for: Thank you, kind Sir, for using my (hopefully final) screen name, and for the words of your comment.  I am happy to report that, last week, I was able to be examined by one of our area's top neurologists (four months' wait for an appointment) and the meds he gave me have cleared away the fog of pain, and my thinking and perceptions are much improved.o

I wish I had been able to: I wish I had been able to read this poem in the Autumn of 1975, when I had decided (October 13th) to abandon my abortive science fiction attempts and become a poet.  This poem would have made me feel less isolated then.  And that final stanza deserves to be in any textbook on Poetry.  That final stanza is the entire summary of the Poets' duty and privilege.  Having been a Freemason, I could wish there was a similar fraternity for Poets:  and that last stanza would be required memorization for admission.

As flawed as we humans can: As flawed as we humans can be, to find that compassionate grace and actually have faith in its Giver all worldly obstacles fade in the Presence. A true encouragement to all have fallen short of glory.
