Sometimes we struggle to return in kind.
Can one gift back what’s immeasurable;
Beyond luminous of mere human words;
Especially if words are all a heart can gift?
Wisdom says no, so speak from the heart
If then- a picture paints a thousand words
You’re God’s colorful painting in progress
And I’ve been blessed to watch come alive
You’ve filled my heart and soul with libraries
Of our smiles, thrills, and unending stories
Made each of my stumbling less humiliating
Watched my full fallibility fall as teardrops
Wiped and wept with my outpouring pain
None of which my soul could ever…forget

Where flight became stalled
Because fear stood its ground
There- is where I- was reborn
Where I relearned my reality
As broken fragments of a self
Where I’ve seen the unveilings
Of time, truth, and Holy love
Where angels cried and wept
For my salvation and healing
And I- wept along with them
Where fire seared my mission
Forged into my soul as passion
A combatant for the wounded
Of humanities silenced…truths
