My Journey to God

Crosses

How He must yearn
For His Love to be returned.
Unceasingly giving
Unceasingly at His fullest
Unceasingly hoping
Unceasingly watching for a turn in His direction.
Some slight indication
That one has noticed
And says, ‘thank you’
And says, ‘I Love You’
And walks towards Him to accept His embrace.

Can our pain be more easily shouldered,
The pain of indifference of another
The pain of insignificance to another
The pain of rejection by another
Through empathy with Him
And the cross He bears
As the cross we bear?
And isn’t it Love
Unceasingly given?
