DEDICATED TO THE WOMAN I LOVE


The Woman Whom even God dreamed of

Before the world was made;

The Woman of Whom I was born

At cost of pain and labor at a Cross;

The Woman Who, though no priest,

Could yet on Calvary's Hill breathe:

"This is my Body; This is my Blood"

For none save her gave Him human life.

The Woman Who guides my pen,

Which falters so with words

In telling of the Word.

The Woman Who, in a world of Reds,

Shows forth the blue of hope.

Accept these dried grapes of thoughts

From this poor author, who has no wine;

And with Cana's magic and thy Son's Power

Work a miracle and save a soul -

Forgetting not my own.
