ETERNAL GIFT

 

Gift of mortal prose

Passionate

Inspiring

Eccentric in my youth

Rebellious

Eternal search for truth

Divine permutation

Once so dark

Dismal

Now triumphant

Glorious

Filled with gratitude

Saved from evil ligature

Alcoholic torment

Alive this day with purpose

Every breath proclaims

His healing emancipation

Living proof of Christ’s revelation

Eternal walk

Beside Him I shall serve

Symbol of salvation

All I am

I give to thee

 

12” Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers in the word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.

13 Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.

14 Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.”

 

I Timothy 4: 12-14
