Whatever

poem for Lighthouse poetry contest

Whatever

Brothers and sister take hold of the only treasure that matters

Wholesome truth that casts our false idolatry
Honest hoping reminding us of victory on the way
Adorning justice puts to flight unrighteous iniquity
Thanking God for purity makes even impure water fit to drink
Expectations of loveliness celebrate God's gift of you and me
Veneration of good works from God prepares us for God's best
Eternal visions of virtuous living encourage all that has breath
Resonating praise echoes inside and outside giving glory to God

Think on these things, dwell on these things knowing that by embracing these things
God is never far away
