This welled up in me as I remembered my late father, remembered my past, and my creator, whilst I picture the future...


PIOUS SUPPLICATION

Unsung hero
part conspirator of my being
Sing from the grave beyond
Unholy act of my past
Cleanse from book of life unbound
Indeed
Book of deed

For we have sinned
Against gods and men
Against heaven and earth
Against fire and wind

Oh!
Great Architect of the universe

Open thy watery gates
Let our spirit pass
Pass thy sea

For we may stand
Stand Unblemished in thy sight

Grant this fruity hand
Be juicy in thy land

Amen
