What Does It Take? Poem by Joyce Hemsley

Co-authored with
John William McGrath.

An Angel's natural charm,
A crystal sea, a melody,
The bliss, the wild decisions
What does it take for life to be
A beautiful reverie?
The lark at dawn? Love re-sworn?
Wait and see.

Children grand and great,
Two hearts in harmony,
The kiss, the rose, the seasons
What does it take to set us free?
Heaven's recompense?
A Holy dawn? Christ re-born?
Wait and see.
