The Soul of a Man
by
Robert Cameron Hazelton
The Soul of a Man is a delicate thing
Fraught with imperfections galore,
Hopefully opposite flaws cancel out
Leaving virtue a bit in the more.
Much has been said of this most holy vessel
Which houses our Love and our Faith,
Yet, no one has ever proved it exists
It seems little more than a wraith.
But each of us knows, somewhere deep inside
There’s a fire burning savagely bright,
That tells us to go when it seems like the end
That won’t let us give up the fight.
The Soul of a Man, what a wondrous thing,
So complex and sublime,
May the Love of God bless each one
From now, till the end of time.
