That Profound Sentence

THAT PROFOUND SENTENCE

And if I was to allow that profound sentence

To leave my lips in an unadulterated way

With heartfelt integrity

And honesty – as with tremoring lips I display

A man of steely resolve – set to stay

On course – for uprightness and good faith

With accompanying sacrifice that costs

                       …

And you stopped in your tracks for a moment

Just long enough to receive my bestowment

As I affected you in the deep recesses of your heart

So much so that although perplexed

You found the better part

Which shall not be taken away… 

If so – I would fall to my knees with you

in mutual need

And pray…
