Citadel

Gary Edward Geraci

Citadel

 

Family is a fortress,

Against the foes and forces,

Spreading lies of treason,

Killing the voice of reason.

 

One servant, one handmaid

It consists; by God; with band

Bound by vow; children

Its blessing - to strengthen

 

Attacks of suffering;

Gifts of selves its inner workings:

Rejecting cultural ills,

Tyrannical, secular wills,

 

Transcending unjust laws

While loving its neighbor’s flaws,

Lifting the marginalized,

And protecting the marriage bed.

 

Seeking others like themselves,

With church it gathers and delves,

Deflecting defunct ways,

Imagined to cloud in haze.

 

Family is God’s great gift,

Built to survive the wide rifts;

Trinity its Image,

Binding wounds and cleavage.
