Beatitude

 Beatitude

Almighty sought to illustrate

The character of His devout

As Rabbi gave divine mandate 

On mount to quell the rampant doubt 

Midst sermon Christ described the sort 

Enumerated attributes

Of servant prime who doth comport

Evoked an image Lex imputes

Alexis typifies the best

Embodies each beatitude 

Should Lexi’s good be ‘pon the rest

No selfish thought would have been strewed

Though others deem themselves above

Our Lex cares not for dominance

A spirit poor and quick to love 

Is her’s the kingdom’s prominence 

Acquainted well with charity

Thus Lex was drawn to healer’s trade

Where all she mourns with parity 

Assured the comfort Lord hath made

Of haughtiness she is devoid 

Content to change and take the blame

All prideful semblance doth avoid 

An heiress meek with earth to claim

Removed from forces that corrupt

She seeks but that which edifies

A righteous hunger to be supped 

This craving filled shall be her prize

Maternal role be greatest feat

Her patience trumps e’en that of Job

Extends to young her mercy sweet 

Immersed in kind like furnished robe 

Contention fosters no delight 

Begs pardon be she right or wrong

This peacemaker doth stand contrite

Of Master’s daughters she’ll belong 

Unswayed is Lex by worldly cares 

Ambition led to husband sure

Unblemished wants in all affairs 

She’ll see His face for heart so pure 

At times she’s felt refiner’s flame

As some have strived to snuff her worth

For goodness sake they opt to shame 

But her domain hangs over earth 

Disciples of the mount remark

“Tis steep to fill just one of these

To count on all ye err to hark

For such would never leave their knees.”

Appeared a grin on Savior’s lips

“Though strenuous this charge may be

Let not it’s rigor feign eclipse

For there is one to meet my plea.”
