Everything's Alright

"Remember that the smallest seed of faith is of more worth than the largest fruit of happiness." - Thoreau

I'm Adam afraid to look.

I'm a fisherman in a little black book.

I'm Joseph wearing a coat of hues.

I'm Paul in prison, sporting a bruise.

I'm Peter stepping out of a boat.

I'm Moses clearing his throat.

I'm David with a slingshot.

I'm doubting Thomas when I ought not.

I'm Jonah in the belly of a whale.

I'm Noah about to set sail.

I'm Daniel in the lion's den.

All of these people, I have been.

I'm Judas with a bag of coins.

I'm Job girding up his loins.

I'm Bartemeus receiving his sight.

I'm a man in the wilderness and ...

... everything's alright ...

Author's Note

"The mason asks but a narrow shelf to spring his brick from; man requires only an infinitely narrower one to spring his arch of faith from." - Thoreau

Wholly inspiring and uplifting poem, Pete. All these men in history accomplished their missions with inner strength and conviction that they drew from their faith. Your knowledge and perfection in your writings brings out the best by your admiration for Thoreau.
