Poetry

---

My joy and my crown,
Be strong in the Lord;
Smile not a frown;
For the One adored.

For this I must ask,
True aide of the Word;
Never wear a mask,
Do as you have heard.

Help others their needs,
And shout the Good News;
Of the One that bleeds,
Why they need to choose.

Always do your best,
Not burdened in cares;
Rather make request,
Each time in your prayers.

Be glad in the Lord,
At all times I say;
Not to be ignored,
When tempted to stray.

Whatever you seek,
Assert your mind clear;
Do not become weak,
For the Lord is near.
