Analysis of Tuesday Musing
Say what you will or wont
but do as you pray
Bleed as you will in the night
but carry the day
Take as your conscience directs
but give all you can
Return when the fighting is done
—but not before then
(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2014)
A Final Amen
Through critical discussion
he walked in the night
And passed all the doubters
embracing their fright
After giving it once,
he gave forever again
For that bigger than him
—and that final amen
(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2014)
