My Usher

Mystery is my usher,
I will never miss the show.

She sits me down in the good seats,
She waits quietly until intermission.

She restores my soul: she leads me from one act to the next,
in a plot much larger and grander
than anything I can conceive.

Yea, even as I glimpse the closing of my own little scene,
I will fear no evil,
for thou art with me,
thy scraps of program, and thy trusty flashlight
bring me comfort.

Thou preparest a bounty before me,
with my enemies sitting on either side,
you pull aside the curtain,
and fill me with wonder and joy,
until there is more than I can hold.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life,
and I will be a part of the show for ever.
