Close to Thee

Close to Thee

A Poem by Delmar Cooper
"

experiment with form

"

Would that now and for forever, I should so be

In thy presence, both upright and upstanding,

Thereby both soul and flesh may fully worship thee

Would that now and for forever I should so be.

But if erect, I fail; accept from me then on bended knee

Praise from facile tongue your power thus mandating

Would that now and for forever, I should so be,

In thy presence both upright and upstanding.
