Elegy and Eulogy: A Life in Reflective Verse

My life is a

Synergy of divine call and

Human response


That can

Only be called an

"Elegy and Eulogy"


It is a wonder, really.

Not me, of course,

But this life I have been given


And the life I am making of

The life I was given.

Mourning and rejoicing.


It's true.

My physical reality

My emotions


My intellectual pursuits

My relationships and

Most of all


My spirituality.

All of it is a study in

Love and prayers.


Sin, too.

Stumbling, of course, and the

Serious work of salvation.


In the end,

I am grateful for all of it.

Most of all for God.


For what would I be

If not for this time and place?

More than that...


What would I do without eternity?

Like I said:

Elegy and Eulogy.
