Morning Reflection
Cup of Love

Cup of Love
Awakening this morn I hope anew
That healing begins as truth
Yet as I listen and feel dawn’s new light
Daybreak brings word of more darkness
Troubling news from the fore-night
Of things of man getting worse
Blocking all words of longing
In a din so loud that no one hears
With lashes and splashes of violence
Coloring all in the red of sadness
Yet in His wisdom and patience
Another day is given, a gift to use
To we who are here, yet another chance
To turn toward a new beginning
For new and open listening to hear
With hearts, not mouths or heads
The cries of those poor in spirit
Who hunger and thirst for justice
Who call out for fresh awareness
For not just listening but doing
And so with prayer and patience
I bring my cup of cool and healing water
From the life-spring of His love
To one in need who I meet today
Who are parched from longing
And offer refreshment to the heartsick
A balm for the wounds of fearA small restart to healing
