POETRY

Abraham, walk me through the fire

Past fear, and desire

Lead me up into the mountain

Show me the eternal fountain

Teach me not to shudder

Introduce me to my brother

Yes, I can hear the rumbling

Of my trembling, as I’m stumbling

To traverse the tattered mind

Which you’d left far behind

As you unsheathed the sharpened blade

From this tale what man has made

You knight of infinite resignation

To carry such a heavy designation

Bestowed upon you by grace

To bear what you had to face

The Trial and the Tribulation

Your unwavering determination

To heed to the eternal’s command

Traveled across the unknown land

Knew not your destination

To father more than a nation

Some follow love or follow hate

Yours was greatest, you had faith
