Creed – A Poem

by Ryan M. Healy on May 14, 2008

Here’s a poem I wrote when I was 20. Lines from it have been coming to mind frequently these days, so I thought I’d publish it here.

It has nothing to do with business, but you might enjoy it anyway.

Creed – by Ryan M. Healy

I
To move the hearts of men;
To change the soul within;
To remove the facades that cage
Our ways at a tender age;
To return to the days of old,
When tales around the hearth were told;
To gather the scattered coals
That have lost their heat
In scattered defeat
Into a banked and blazing shoal.

II
To please the God that’s true;
To bid my flesh adieu;
To reveal the strong hands that made
This ordered earth in seven days;
To return to the times of old,
When stories of our God were told;
To gather the scattered coals
That have lost their heat
In scattered defeat
Into a banked and blazing shoal.
