Sonnet

He does not break the crushed reed.
Nor quench the wavering flame.
He answers when we sincerely plead.
He welcomed us when into his arms we came.

Justice he will bring.
His kingdom will be established.
He is our rightful King.
His law is written on an everlasting tablet.

He who created the heavens and spread them out.
Who gave shape to the earth and what comes from it.
He can expel in hearts all doubt.
The whole universe does He knit.

I the Lord have called you to serve the cause of right.
And you Lord are my truth and my light.

Haiku

I the Lord have called
And you are my light and truth
To serve the true cause
