There are times
when life
seems to lurch on
from one crisis
to the next,
when humanity
chooses a path
both irrational
and insane.
Has God
forgotten me,
taken
a holiday?
Is he here
at all?
Child,
I am here!
I love you!
I want you
to know me,
to love me,
to trust me.
I am here
for you
in all times,
good and bad.
I looked again.
I saw a cross,
cruel and stark
across the human scene.
I knew that Love
has known
and heard
my deepest pain.
