The race completed

Haiku responding to 2 Tim 4:6-8, 16-18


Ready to depart.

The purported apostle

writes to Timothy.


An offering poured

out before God. He's at peace,

holding nothing back.


He's fought the good fight,

he has completed the race,

he has kept the faith.


He's ready to claim

the crown of righteousness that

God has promised him.


He had stood alone,

no one came to help, but he

doesn't hold a grudge.


The Lord stood by me,

gave me strength, allowing me

to preach the gospel.


The gentiles have heard

because the Lord rescued me;

God still keeps me safe.
