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
