HOPE and FEAR


I am late to all parents
Late to all orphans
Missed the assembly of elders
Late to buy to a pair of wheelchairs
So yesterday to what God says
As to Jesus, as to Moses,
Yet late to the Praised
I am late to all loves
Late to all cases
Indeed to emphasis
I am a late answer to all questions implied
Late to every phrase
Sustaining with a pure hope to serve
Perhaps to the human race?
