Long time no mail. Much work makes for little
poetry. But here's a piece to break the empty
stretch.
One
by J. Randal Matheny
One man, with his will set to the task,
can plow the desert and raise a vineyard.
Andre Norton
One man, with a will, with a mind to work,
can plane the mountains, plow the desert
to raise a vineyard, rouse the masses,
change a world by charging forward.
One woman, charms wafting about her,
can sway a forest, swipe the stars
from heaven's dome, halve the oceans,
her powers best wielded, most potent, at home.
One innocent child with eyes of wonder
opens fountains of tender faith,
samples joy in simple pleasures,
invites by smiles to vaster riches.
One soul with sights fixed on service
defies a royal force of armies,
from faith to kindled faith deposits
eternal drops of untarnished glory.
