Eye and Ear
cast not out
gentle prompting
of a heart yearning
Shake not away
softest touch
earnest embodiement
of fatherly character
As a blessed thief
he will come
stealing away
all graces given
Tear not down
foundations laid
of priceless gems
and blood borne cement
Grieve away not
lest he come no more
bearing freedoms gift
and the prize!
But, seek the finest oil
to trim you're lamps
see they burn
And never go out.

Great lines all the way through.
Classic beauty and grace in your words; unfolds like a painting onto the soul. BRAVA!
