Thought
With greatest skill most carefully
Carved out defense strategically
Animated mask world to face
Adapted to each time and place
For every scene and every task
Crafted out for truth to mask
Written acts of scenes conceive
Played by impressions we leave
Thus, when actor’s part is cast
Role and actor’s thoughts broadcast
Place God in church for exaltation
When true God is in congregation
Drama masks in ancient Greece
Made from wood and cotton fleece
Are not preserved in glass displays
Since none survived those older days
When made up mask is set aside
When truth is one without divide
When even stage lights disconnect
Truth stands readily to connect
Prayer
O Lord grant me the vision to see Thee peeping out playfully behind each of Thy masks as people, places and scenes. Let me recite Thy lines from Thy script and never falter or question Thy plot or design for I am made in Thy image.
