Seán Walsh: Reconcile
Reconcile
How many times – oh, dear Jesus! –
how many times down the decades
have I turned away from You,
taken my eyes off your eyes,
gone back… down… unto Vanity…
And now – at the end – I turn to You:
again… yet again…
fumbling… stumbling…
in fear of falling.
He reached out… embrace…
And when I broke against his Heart –
Sorry… Oh, so, so sorry –
He whispered
I don’t remember…
