A Gentle Embrace

hands 003

 

Arms wide, welcoming

doors wide in anticipation

come in and sit

there is always room for another

together we praise

and give thanks

none will be turned away

Hhe loves without reservation

would that we were as tolerant

we aspire to His teaching

but ever do we fail

be not downtrodden

stand with head held high

look on His teaching

and learn

sit quietly in His house

inhale deeply the incense

the tears

the hopes and the fears

sit quietly and feel

His gentle embrace
