Today's word is "Panglossian" ... pan-GLOS-ee-uhn ... characterized by or given to extreme optimism, especially in the face of unrelieved hardship or adversity. (Dictionary.com)
Remain
When trouble comes too near,
And hearts are filled with fear,
Frail strength's outdone by pain,
And eyes are filled with rain,
The faithful carry on,
With Panglossian song,
Where others see but loss,
They see a shadowed cross.
This humble symbol shows,
The love of God that flows,
Around and through us all,
As we, beloved, he calls.
