in the muddles,
in the mess,
in the demands,
in the torn lives,
and shattered hopes,
in the tears,
in the torment,
in the hunger,
in the cold,
in the pain filled eyes
whose questions
run deeper than
any answers
i might offer,
i find you, and
i find in you
a new beauty
a strange glory,
an unfathomable mystery,
i hear you calling me
beyond myself,
to follow you,
will you give me
the grace, and
grant me the strength
to answer your call...?
i cannot do this alone...
