Everything Is Gonna Be Alright
*** Everything’s Gonna Be Alright ***
Life —
In the slowing
Dance of age with illness —
Speaks in lingering, flowing
Lines
With the horrid smell of blood
(despite doctors all
saying, “Bleeding is good.”)
It reeks
Nonetheless
Of death’s bleak nearness ~
Yet
I ever sense
Whence
Our Lord keeps me
Through all these
Could be
Might be seen
As trials, battles,
Weak times, strains and
Sufferings
For His holy I-AM
As designed and
worthy
Reasons. Unseen.
Still…
Holding me
Faithfully
In iHis keeping
and
My believing…

Gonna Be Alight” any version)
