Security

(A Meditation on the Painting of Soldier-Artist H.H.)

There . . .

Only . . . there

At Your Feet

I lie,

I kneel,

I wait. . .

Needing You,

My God!

Others where?

None so sweet

My sigh

To heal

As O great,

Bleeding You,

My God!

Yours to bear!

Your Heart’s beat

Did die,

Did seal

It’s fate,

Binding You,

My God.

Ours to share!

At Your Feet

Men lie,

Men kneel,

Men wait . . .

Finding You,

My God,

Only There!
