Invictus Redeemed (A Poem)

Invictus Redeemed

Mightiest Light that reaches me,
Purest Love, You are my Goal.
Thank You, God, Whom soon I'll see,
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance,
You've seen me wince and cry aloud.
Under bludgeonings common to man
My head is bloody, but to You I'm bowed.

Beyond this place of sorrow and tears
Looms a joy that will never fade.
Short-lived griefs of present years
You have foretold. I'm not afraid.

It matters not what's on my slate;
I know my Lord is in control.
You are the Master of my fate.
You are the Captain of my soul.
