the very best among us

36 untainted souls

the very best among us,

oblivious of their generational stature,

luminescent

indistinguishable

transcendent among us,

sentinels fortifying our world:

solid and stalwart diamonds anchoring God’s Garden

36 untainted souls

the very best among us,

who inspire us with their benevolence and humility,

who comfort us from pain and loss:

receptacles enduring our grief

servants who insulate and shelter

teachers who instill and inspire

36 untainted souls

the very best among us,

who manifest the heartbeat of the world

many times over with each generation:

and so into 36

are beckoned once again
