There are not found that returned
to give glory to God, save this stranger (Luke 17:18)
But one returned in gratitude.
One stranger leaving nine.
(What about
these thoughts
of mine?
Nine/tenths
needing to repent?)
But one returned with testament
of praise to God.
He knew what healing meant.
Father-Mother,
May I go back one hundred percent—
a stranger, unashamed,
to find Thy Christ
that claims its own
and must be claimed.
