Reconciliation

Giving strength to deeds
ordinarily won't harm
the giver of said, "strength";

it's that quality
that sets off an alarm,
when we'll go to any length.

Scandalous hearts,
creative minds, too
plus tenacity, for sure;

with a focus, strong
anything, will do
'tis a road hard to endure.

Yet, with her two hands
she can smooth away
the knots, from my shoulders of rope;

ease my worried mind
beside her, as I lay
I can feel her waves of hope.

She can love me, calm
all that has struck me odd,
and all my cares are on the shelf;

for, as I hold her close
and reconcile with god,
it's easier to reconcile with myself.

This is a beautiful piece.....

and I now see that it comes from my son who has found contentment, Peace and Love in his poor hurting body....and soul ...and so I myself rejoice...for the peace and Love it brings to MY heart....and once again I smile..
