The Completion At Last (poem)

The completion at last



We were once,- only the embryo, implanted with faith

Cultivated from ideas, some old - and some new-



Nourished from a desire - to seek our fate

Beginning to flourish with dreams left - from the cool

Morning dew-



If we survive the drought in the summer, of prejudice

And hate,

Where lack of love threatens, to cut us down,- like an

Unwanted weed -



Providing winter’s cold heart, - doesn’t uproot us in war,

Only- to fill - its own selfish plate.



Then perhaps- the following season, will bring us, the promise

We- so desperately need !

For spring may bring us - warm hearts, to expose, our

Unstable petals,-- to a whole new light,



With April’s tears of remorse, for discrimination, and

Ignorance, which, created such gloom

Replenished - with hope - we will continue to grow,

There’s no stopping us now, for now, -- it’s - all- done right.



From here it unfolds, - the completion at last! for all of

God’s care,- will soon be in full bloom!
