How Was Your Living Today

By
How was your living today? How  was your first breath spent? Was it to pray? As your eyes strained to open, did you feel a great dare? How was your living today? How was your loving today? Did you offer a smile? Did you listen a while? Was forgiveness your gift? Did you ease a friend’s trouble? How was your loving today? Did you feel every beat of your heart? Are you certain that you will remember The roads you have travelled, the souls you have touched? Did you feel every beat of your heart? How will you rest this night?

The Blessed and the Burdened

The Blessed and the Burdened (A Manifesto for the Well Born) It is truly a blessing to be well born. To enter the world through no doing of your own — cradled in safety, fed without fear, taught to speak the right words, walk the right paths, dream the right dreams.

Now we'll know the bite and the howl.  Not far in the distance breathes Winter most foul.   Is it so fearful you beg to beware  No ! T'is the blessing of God's loving care.   Doubt not resurrection as Summer does close  There are yet many Springs for the blush of the rose.  Copyright © 2005 by Marc Ernest Brodeur
