Beloved Lamb

Poem of the Day-March 25, 2006

--------------------------------------

"May nothing evil cross this door,

      And may ill fortune never pry

About these windows, may the roar

      And rains go by.

Strengthened by Faith, the rafters will

      Withstand the battering of the storm.

This hearth, although the world grow chill,

      Will keep you warm.

Peace shall walk softly through these rooms,

      Touching you lips with Holy Wine,

Till every corner blooms

      Into a shrine.

Laughter may drown the raucous shout

      And, though the sheltering walls are thin,

They are strong enough to keep hate out

      And hold Love in.”
