O blessed mortality <br />Thy temporal slumber is not long <br />And thy short season here is for great instruction. <br /> <br />So it is, that because of thy dusks and thy dawns, <br />My children might learn good against evil, <br />And love against hatred, <br /> <br />And though your reign is but a flicker, <br />My worthy children shall learn <br />To come to Me by choice. <br /> <br />O blessed mortality <br />Your purpose is indeed <br />One of greatness. <br /> <br />5-24-06<br /><br />~~~ Leaven ~~~<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/blessed-mortality/
