Our “so far” has concluded with “so good.”
We’ve paved a road that then was merely dust.
Our sentences have done the work they could;
our sentences shall do the work they must.
They’ll help us love, they’ll help us make pretend.
We’ll find for each of them some special use.
Our sentences will aid us on the mend;
our sentences will challenge our abuse.
And as we thought them out, they helped us cope
with evils signaling a downward trend.
Our sentences are filled with joy and hope;
our sentences will save us in the end.
Our sentences will fight to set us free.
Our sentences are as much as we’ll ever be.
