We are gold
Gavin Thomas Murphy runs a website called Gratitude In All Things where he looks to Ignatian Spirituality for strength and inspiration.
Last week, I was treated with great kindness by a colleague when I spoke about moving on from one phase of my life to another. She inspired me to meditate on how God might treat us, and I wrote this poem afterwards. I offer it in gratitude.
We are Gold
A look, an embrace, a kindness
yes, you are precious
my child
You are gold
I hear your breath in the
darkness of the night
I am with
you
We rise together my child
for you are gold
you are
mine
Be still as I comfort you in
your troubles
I will always comfort you
sometimes challenge
you
In the night of your dreams
I love you
with
the deepest kind of love
forever.
