| IN PRAISE OF DIVINE LIBERATION
   I once wallowed in apathy; I once had feelings of being unworthy; I once struggled with fathering failure; I once, in anger, felt God had abandoned me; Then, keloid memories of the childhood lesson, In gracious spirituality, massaged my paining soul; And with amazing divine wisdom and guidance, I exercised the healing grace of the message And was lessoned in the awareness taught:-     In renewed soul searching prayer, I sought action to replace apathy, And labors of love were found; I asked for help in arriving At belief in my self’s worthiness, And it was profoundly given unto me; I knocked on that door of determination, It opened widely, ushering out failure And ushered in faithful persistence:-   With forgiveness and supreme love, |
