Wounded Warriors

Today I was inspired by a photo posted on Facebook by my friend in England, Brother Lawrence Lew, O.P. His photo and the attached message inspired this poem that I wrote this afternoon. Thank you, Brother Lew, for your beautiful photos and service to Our Lord.

 

Wounded Warriors

When I am left

Hanging--

Wounded by words,

Betrayed and

Abandoned

by those

who were once

friends--

I must remember

at the end

I will kneel

at the feet

of a Sacrificed Savior.

The Resurrected Lord

that I greet

understands.

He still carries

the wounds of friends

In His hands.

Silver Linings

Everybody falls sometimes
Gotta find the strength to rise
From the ashes and make a new beginning
Anyone can feel the ache
You think it’s more than you can take
But you're stronger, stronger than you know
Don’t you give up now
The sun will soon be shining
You gotta face the clouds
To find the silver lining...

From "What Faith Can Do" by Kutless

It's my favorite new song!

Time to face the clouds

and find my silver lining...
