For those far away - Photo: bigstock.com
How often, Lord,
would I wish to stretch across the
miles and touch loved ones far away,
or be whisked on angel’s wings
to their very side.
Be with them in all they do,
when their hearts grow
lonely and homesick,
when they long to see
and hold their loved ones,
touch them, Lord,
with the touch of your presence.
Hold them in your embrace,
help them feel better,
knowing that in your love
we are all close together.
Amen.
- Fr Patrick Sayles
