Written in stone

Vision is a line of sight,

they say, a way to look

around and through,

a way to look forward,

understanding what lies

ahead. I hear a song,

a psalm, Be Thou

My Vision, I hear a voice,

my voice, crying out words

carved in stone at the end,

Be Thou, encourage, love,

he left behind a better place,

my vision, a better place

than what he found,

the only true vision

an epitaph.
