Poems written on this day in years gone by:
O Lord of grace the strength of all,
My weaknesses are bare before,
That you would grant me strength!
Enrap my arms with yours,
Crown me with the hidden crowns,
Of humble character firming pain,
For the great hope that beckons me.
What is the meaning of a smile? Is it ever made the same,
Did I bear my heart too fast or hold it back in vain,
My stomach churns and I am felled with hard-placed pain,
Further from me than I ever knew,
Perhaps it was a blindness that I held for you,
To fail to see myself and seemingly you too.
