poem for Wilfred D. Samuels


OUR SOULS ARE RESIGNED : a Kwansaba

(for Wilfred D. Samuels, 7 February 1947-3 February 2020 )



Grace gave you the gift of faith,

a grain of salt to lesson pain,

perhaps to tutor one wound or another

with a vision-seeking prayer at last.

Teach us to be so wholly good

to  speak  a truth to fatal powers

and find God's face in Nature's mirror.
