The Beating of Our Mission Hearts PDF Print E-mail
This is a poem written for my recent book, Pearls, Sands, and Flamboyance:
  
Faith—
to move, minus reason
to trust, without season
to live, irrespective
to act on His objective—
The forgotten beauty of dependence:
transcendence. 

Hope—
piety purged of pride
courage, credit denied
focus, further than now
ready, hand to the plough—
The blessed creed of Christendom:
Thy kingdom come.

Love—
Hands that offer support
Lips that kindly exhort
A heart: open, exposed
A person with Christ enclosed—
The crucial quality out of fashion:
compassion.
