You Are So Lovely (Poem)

You Are So Lovely

Behold the scars

The trials, the wounds, the aches

A fresh life has come

A new path for my feet

You are so lovely

No time for the past

The future is now

The voices are quiet

The Beloved whispers

You are so lovely

Even when I’m lost

Even when I’m found

Roots were planted

A blossom has come

You are so lovely

My Christ says so

My friends do too

My family has told me

My enemy hints mute

You are so lovely

No hill to climb

No bridge to jump

No pain to avoid

No shame to silence

You are so lovely
