Good Morning! America!
Early golden sun
shaft window-breaks to kiss awake me cheek
“Good morning!
America! I love His world!” Proudly, I speak
Sit up on bed
edge to rub away night’s comfort dreams
Pray! “Lord!
Today I’ll try!” Worthy choice, it seems
Hope to do
better than yesterdays in Holy Spirit’s Grace
Spread Heaven-Love in radiant light-aura ’round
my face
Picture image-clear
of cherished ones I dearly love
Refined-designed
as any fragile pure snow-white dove
In me time
through space to pleasant-Love seek,
then find
This ’ole heartbeat
thumps to emulate humble offer “kind”
Should He grant
me distance-enough to challenge reality
This rebel,
rascal, rogue Salvation-gain by generous-charity
For though yon
temptress stained sin-soul in wicked-evil transgression
Smart enough, I
pray, to earn redemption-pass with contrite confession
So, kiss me
cheek, Sunshine; tender-embrace a spirit soaring ever-wild
For I have
tasted sweet the cherry-honey sugar-stick! “Innocent”-child?
And, if I could
claim to “Perfect-be” like saints and angels whom I know
Well! Then? How
plain un-noticed among all of them should Simple-I
go?
When ’ere me
number is called, do not be in line close behind shadow-shade
Though long and
deep the “judgment” be! With some---I would not…trade!
Forgive! Then!
Me myriad “irreverences”; I surely sport no halo-gold
Me word be bond;
purpose-true; intent-worthy; me stained-soul never-sold
Might if I
should, or could, and, even would, for Thee
I’d take a chance
Truth!
Be
known---I’ll run this race, even in…one-legged tight pants
Amen!
