Today I heard two sorrows wailing, and pain and fear were beaten back, they dressed again and raged their war but peace and comfort won - for neither grey dank clouds nor pain of disappointment can wrestle faith and win. I saw the unexpected enemy and recognized him in his cloak of surprise - the bloody battle cost - trust lives now at a price too high, peace just begins again. Enemy, go away. You have no power here. For love and the loss, though great, was his. Winged bird of peace, balm of faith, my peace grows a new heart stem. How soft the scale as angels comfort-sing it. Now I live! Copyrighted 1997sj
