REFLECTIONS © 2011

How many more mistakes, Lord!

To recognize that splendor

Will only arise for those who,

In life, feel Your love.

Blind, I walk through errant paths,

Searching in shadows for what only light brings,

And, in the fragility of my moments,

I lose the way that grants me peace.

But I know that Your love is patient,

And, despite so many falls, it waits,

For me to find, deep in my mind,

The truth that liberates and regenerates.

Only in Your embrace, Lord,

Will splendor reveal itself,

For the one who, humble and fervent,

Seeks You and learns to love.
