We have come here from the fringes,
Mixed lineages: some less, some great;
Our Father wants the best for us;
One accord, pact - congratulate!
Each one counted among the best,
Regardless his status or caste;
Our Father wants the best for us;
Royalty, concord to amass!
Children wrought all over again,
Schooled in manners and chivalry.
Men, manly and with charity,
Taught to treat others cheerfully!
Trained knights; a noble retinue,
Take nights to rest and days to play;
Our Father wants the best for us;
Born, bred to show others the Way!
“Music for the Royal Fireworks”
Handel did in chamber and court;
Our life’s work to so inspire
Mother Mary our Queen Consort!
Our battle array not lacking;
Saint Michael’s mass and legions;
Unrivaled blistering brawn,
These Christians among religions!
Our Father wants the best for us,
Makes new and knows all arrangements,
Known before we knew our mother’s womb;
Christ, the gift of our engagements!

Your wisdom of words has enchanted my heart, mind and soul. I had so many flickering thoughts as I took in every ord, some of them I had to look up because there are a few words I didn't understand. Brilliant metaphor throughout. Top class poet. greatly rewarding. Thank you for your amazing poem. I love it.
Thank you Kevin for your read and kind words. It’s rewarding for me to get this kind of feedback. My prayer is that these poems, in some small way, give glory to the one a God that gave each one of us a transcendent soul made in His image. Peace brother...
The great almighty's highest thought is to make sure we are all looked after if you obey by the rules. You, Sir, have nothing to worry about.
A fine write Gary. I may tone down the Mary verse myself, being Protestant, though not to forget her.
Thank you Orchidee. In an act of faith, I pray often that everything the Catholic Church teaches; every single bit of it, is true. And so with hopeful anticipation, I long for our Lady and the thousands of saints and martyrs that served our Lord with everything they had. How this must have pleased our Lord. How this must still please our Lord. He loves us so, that in life or death (where we are more alive then than we are now) we are given a notable share in the co-redemption of our brothers and sisters! Again, an act of faith on my part and those of my fellow Catholic Christians. I respect your beliefs too - we have too much in common to distance ourselves over questions that will be solved when we meet our Maker.
Thanks Gary. I admit the Protestants tone down Mary. Not that I think about denomination names much.
