Words

For being mere

puffs of air

are powerful things.

Why did you choose these

Lowly vibrations of nitrogen

And scattered marks on a page

To bear your wisdom?

Often they are:

Abused, transitory,

Misinterpreted,

And inadequate.

Yet you transformed

Us through them,

Revealing yourself

And the right way.

They are more than

26 soldiers, or even kings;

But bearers of

Grace, truth.
