Blessing for Scopists

Blessing for Scopists

Bless the skills of
those who scope

with accuracy the facts
of the spoken word

from computerized

stenotype writings.

They assure that honor
and justice prevail,
performing their duties
with a devotion
that never fails.

What greater mission
on earth than to engage
in a duty to record
the word of truth
on history's every page?
