Two Way Street

Lord, 

       Lord…

we prepare them for death

with dignity and love

compassion is the air we breathe

from You

who designed us,

called us, to walk this road...

but when our compassioned ones

are sick of compassion

they sometimes steal keys

and drive on the wrong side of the highway

where other lives are changed forever

without any warning

that compassion is not always

a two way street
