Deep within my soul
lies truth
unable to surface beyond
the confines of doubt. Afraid to be uniquely me
...

To those who fought
from the air, ground, and sea,
is it in your heart to forgive me? When you came back
bearing the gift of peace,
...

Conceived was Jesus in your sinless womb
as Gabriel asked of you. Mother of the world we sing
sing to the mother of our King. You wept at His cross
where no one felt the loss.
