Goodness and Mercy

There is goodness in it all.

Goodness in the pain,

Goodness in the shame,

Goodness in the lifting

Of the chin by our Father.

There is goodness in it all.

Goodness in the ache

Of loneliness

Of loss

Goodness in the enfolding

Embrace of our Brother.

There is goodness in it all.

Goodness and mercy

In the deadness

In the dust

Goodness and mercy

In the resurrecting

Breath of Life.

There is goodness in it all.
