These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

Rictameter: "Independence"

1. Twice Born in Heart

Reborn.
Independence,
saved from unhelpful life,
gifted free by someone's battle.
Past was won, Future bliss that starts right Now.
Responsibility is His,
Gratitude is a joy.
Mem'ry each day,
Reborn.

---------------------------------------------------

2. Dependence Makes Free

Rely
on One, Who saves.
To lean upon His Shade
makes one independent from Man.
Depend on He, Whose strength is Victory.
All freedom starts with His Lone Plan.
By Him all saints are made.
No lasting graves
Decry.
