Sonnet

Almighty God who through baptism.
Has been pleased to confer on us eternal life.
Truly this is our charism.
One day we will be free from strife.

But what of Monti.
Will his soul live on.
He loves, he can see.
And he is loved, will he see the dawn.

He does not belong to our world.
Yet no one hates him.
He just lies happy curled.
And he isn’t so dim.

But anyway he is surely in heaven already.
He lives entirely in the present, no regrets or fears, just steady.

Haiku

You are in heaven
If you live in the present
No regrets or fears
