At the time of Jesus's birth, tyranny prevailed, and the world was dark and inhopsitable. It seems a parellel of our world today. Christians hold fast to the belief that when he comes again there will be a great cleansing and healing,is that time near?

Lord, We wait Repentant With pious hope, Through our darkest days We hold fast our sight, Blinded not by corruption Of a decayed society Festering in malignant evil, Hopeful our redeemer waits in the wings

Admittedly, Paulette, I am aware of my shortcomings, maybe too many, but I smile, as I watch the Bukowski Tapes tonight, knowing...I accept my journey, and with God's Grace, and under the watchful eye of my Patron Saint, St Therese of Lisieux, tomorrow, maybe, I can be a better man...your fine writing inspires me!

I do not know Bukowski, I looked him up....apparently he has some extraordinary poetry with valid lessons to teach, no matter how crude....nothing wrong with that...what ever brings it home! You are being hard on yourself, after meeting you, however brief, I sensed a glowing goodness about you. Blessings my friend, Paulette
