To Just Be

 

To be the victor

to see the overthrown

to never feel threat

to be one’s own

 

To never feel dependent

to always be free

to never feel fear

to be allowed to see

 

To always be blithe

to always have mirth

to be free of judgment

as was life in birth

 

To never feel ruled

to be on God’s side

to be friends with Jesus

if he only hadn’t died

 

To be always brave

to have no fear

to have a heart of courage

to have it always near

 

To be forever young

to feel life’s peak

to be forever innocent

to be neither shy nor meek

 

To feel forever blissful

to be forever revered

never to be defaced

to be the one who’s feared

 

To be again pure

to be again guileless

to never feel be derelict

to have nothing to confess

 

To be like that again

to feel that way forever

to be the afraid

to feel that way

Never
