Friday of Week 19 in Ordinary Time

You were as unloved.
As on the day you were born.
Rejected , abandoned, shoved.
But not for all time , forsworn.I prayed again during the night to the blessed.
But this time a blank , the dream a dark void, no answer , silence.
Perhaps he was helping another wretched.
Do I have always to ask , can I not wait in silence.

I wonder if the saints watch out.
Waiting to help some poor soul.
Can they help more than one from despair to climb out.
Yes they regard equally surely every soul.

They are always there for us.
But not of course only us.

…….

So we were unloved
As on the day we were born
But perhaps not now
