A More Excelling Way

by Seah Greenhorn

(Poem with copyright)

Scars,
may snarl,
mar your flesh,
tarnish your outward beauty.

Wear these proudly
as medallions scored
from scaling bobbed wire

fleeing hypocrisy.

Courage
to defend

Truth and Honesty

require
constant strength

depend
upon a
complete heart

from whenever
The Finish

from the time that
You start.

A body
adorned
with ancient armor--
His Word

worn

fend off scathing flames
of caustic words
flung

to reduce you
to
conformity.

Your pressing forth
through
this wicked dark forest,
slaying discomfort

will instill

in some sincere others
confidence

power
to themselves
perform.

You can
stalwartly
proceed.

Succeed
in loving actions,
gracious
deeds.

Be
that light lit and shining
upon a hill.

Though
daily
battles
inward and out
may
mark you,

your righteous works
will herald you--

Victorious.

Beam tirelessly on
through this abrasive storm
of apathy.

Your brilliant
inner smile's
a beacon of hope
spotlighting 
a more excelling

Way,
today
till

Forever--
Love.
