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.
