who will face the unfacable
stare down the unseeable
and make sense of the nonsensical
while believing in the unbelievable
you and I
with the help of God of course
his hand you see
must rest gently upon our hearts
and shoulders
as its magnificent weight could all
too easily crush the slender too human
fallible heart alone
that is why he loves us best
through the vessel of our souls
his silent, gentle, loving, so very
determined celestial soldiers riding well
guarded within our allotted but sometimes
so very fragile human containers.............
