We hear of him
A successful failure
Tasting the cream
Of stumbling error
And though he sighs
He needs to realize –
Wisdom wealthyfies!
We hear of him
A stubborn survivor
Struggling in the scene
Of starved succour
And though he plies
To make Paradise his prize –
Hardship happyfies!
We hear of him
A man of humour
Gifted with a whim
Of turning pain to pleasure
And though he wrys
With laughter in his cries –
Pain purifies!
We hear of him
A man of valour
Sangfroid 'mid the scream
Of piercing terror
And though he fears no vice
He paid the price –
Panic petrifies!
We hear of him
A man of honour
Caught 'tween men's scandalism
To his disfavour
And though he tries
To tell the truth, not lies –
Honesty healthyfies!
We hear of him
A prince of glamour
Moulded from the dream
Of a Celestial Sculptor
And though his eyes
Hold heaven, we surmise –
Service sanctifies!
We hear of him
A Silent Saviour
Hallowed to the realm
Of sublime splendor
And though he flys
The spiritual skies –
Hell holyfies!
