Lessons

Time, it cannot melt the truth
Or wax itself unkind
I felt the pain, yet don’t regret
The love it left behind

The long long road
Built up in strength
Where God’s sweet mercy
Sowed in length

With needles hidden
Bound all wounds
Stopped the bleeding
Healed the pain

A place where all one’s pride
Must die
Where pity pays no mind to mix
Stupefying fights … all fixed

Where eye for eye and tooth for tooth
Give way for selfless mercies truth
One of loves greatest lessons
To be learned

On the cross
The work is done
The victory in Christ
Already won
