Shields of Faith
Poetry — By Larry Shallenberger on June 23, 2012 at 10:22 am
Shields of faith forged on youth’s anvil
Amid the hammerings of spaking and understanding
Proudly carried in plains of battle
Absorbing fiery darts so effortlessly
That one doubts the archers’ malice
More than a conqueror until the day its weight
Wraps around the warrior
A cicada shell
Whose defenses must be breeched
Or entomb it’s wearer
Alive
1 Corinthians 13:11
