One Who Weeps

One Who Weeps

Anselm Grün

Scripture tells twice of your weeping,
But undoubtedly there were other times
Besides your tears for a friend entombed
And a heartless city swept up in selfishness.
Surely your tender tears continue to emerge
As you look upon this hurting planet today.
Tears for children who are brutally betrayed
And every person’s wrenching desolation,
Tears for the world’s greed and plunder
And the careless way we treat one another.

Today : I renew my endeavor to be compassionate.
