First and foremost may I wish you a Happy and Healthy New Year for 2023 to all my friends.
It is unfortunate that I have to lower my poetry and comments due to problems to my back. Doctors' orders are to spend less time on my computer. I will try to do so but apologized for not reading all your lovely poems. Blessings to all.

The Lake of Charity
The hill stood tall and stately,
Wind soughed through its sparse trees.
Below a lake spread, at times calm,
At times quite horribly stormy.
He knelt in meditation and asked for:
Prayer, the source of renewal,
Patience, the capacity for tolerance,
Pardon, a grant of friendship.
Three rivers flowed down the hill
and joined together as they swirled rapidly
towards a cascade of heavenly mercy.
Remember O man, that the name of that hill,
Never forgotten, is called Golgotha.
The waters irrigate our devious hearts
And change it into a lake of charity.
