You spread love
wherever You go
sometimes it's welcome
with the opened arms
of the inconsolable
broken and forgotten ones
others with dark souls
and full coffers,
crucify You
and crown You with thorns
but you embrace everyone with tenderness
You teach us
-that with love everything is possible-
a simple lesson to learn
yet many people don't
they would rather stay
inside their golden palaces
with a perverse foundation
built on the unseen poor
but you embrace everyone with tenderness
people can learn from nature
as branches quiver in the sun
reaching faithfully to the sky
their shaking leaves in the winds
with strong down-to-earth roots
you embrace everything with tenderness
