Praised Be Those Who Worship God with Love

April 9, 2020

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is Passover, which begins on the evening of April 8^th, and Easter, which is celebrated on April 12^th .

I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com .

A poem for both Passover and Easter about how the uncertainty of faith should lead one to tolerance:

Praised be those who worship God with love

And set aside the enmities of old.

Salvation is a tale often told,

Sensing what one can't be certain of.

One's faith precisely is what one can't prove,

Vivid though one finds it to behold,

Each touch of truth a moment wrought in gold,

Revealing what no turmoil can remove.

Even so, belief must be a choice,

As fact ought not, nor probability,

Sure only of what can be proven wrong.

The muse of faith requires an inner voice

Emanating from a soul that's free,

Respecting all that each might find her song.
