Have you
seen weary traveler
By the fleeting wayside bleeding
Stealing begging lying breathing
Away Crying digging
Living dying
Brush us not away
As the world is wont
We need your crumbs
Your warmth
Your compassion
Deny our eyes not
The light of day
We need you
Your blood
Your soul
O take not from us
Our very breath away
For we live
And we are
We do live
Give us not your hatred
In you hold good
Our present hope
Please pray spirit
God in you
You have
seen weary traveler
By the fleeting wayside bleeding
Stealing begging lying breathing
Away Crying digging
Living dying
We are but worn old
Torn sick poor feeble
We the unborn
Delayed unwanted
Fair innocent small
Do not turn away thy heart
Sun Moon and stars
Our desperate faith
Thy unclean unloved
We die alone
Whispering life within you
Withhold not thy hand
From glad help or
Dark anguished death
Fly us home
Then only lilting song of breath
Remain in bare trees ashen
Telling Love’s eyes
Within you yet
Only our faces remain.
