Eternal Pleasures

You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.” (Psalm 16:11)

There is a skip-

 In my step today.

Not in the papers

Piled high, but in

The blueness of

The sky.

I watched a child

Pass me by

Humming a tune;

The cow jumped

Over the moon.

Candles lay

Upon my shoulder,                                                                                                                   

And a prayer to                                                                            

Watch me over.

Sleepy children

Fill the room,

 In Stained-glass

Windows-half-past noon.

Eternal pleasures-

Watch and wait,

Path of life

Joy of Fate!
