A crushing blow was dealt my son
And down I went with grief and disbelief
When I tried to stand I needed help
I tried the conventional way
Consulting a help professional
I knew it wasn’t what I needed—
I wanted someone to guide me toward God’s face
As I struggled for sense and meaning
Into the gaping wound there stepped a friend—
Someone to direct me to the face
and heart of God
And as she listened to my story
She guided me back to the flowing stream
Where I plunged in with no regard for depth
In the ensuing weeks and months
I have moved from grace to grace
At home in divine mystery and love
And with each encounter
She gathers up my life into
A gift, a grace, a prayer
…you are my kingdom come
