Litany of Sorrow
In tattered stacks I sought my way, through dusty tomes of lore To trace the steps of yesterday, reflections of a time afore Where apparitions haunt the mist and tarry for a while To sadly rue the curs'd path of follies artful guile A shadowed figure paused paying heed to my regard And from the silent mien I collected my...

Oh Lord, sin has found me on my knees My hands hold my face to hide me tears drop slowly from my eyes, filled with my hearts burden of lies.

Litany “Please.” “Thank you.” and “Excuse me.” in exile Replaced by “Give me.” “I’m entitled.” blindness And, “Just get out of my way.” No style Rudeness leaves scars. No price tag on kindness. “I’m sorry.” Never loses honor – face – A smile won’t overdraw your bank account. Courtesy costs you nothing – priceless grace Turn that simmering road rage...

Hubris in spades But cannot comprehend, What his people need He seems quite round the bend. So what to do Well we do what we must, Move forward with hope For in God we trust....
