If "an eye for an eye"were earth's law for living,soon my neighbor and I—all mankind—would be blind.

Usually a bullyIs quite a coward, too,And if you face his threatsHe runs away from you.

Take heart!

Divine decree

Inevitable as morn—as planets in their courses—yet gently as the dawn,God's law itself enforces.

Expectation

This morning I checked upon my expectation.
