Come in, My Friend
4 November, 1993

Come in, Friend Grief,
You who are a messenger of God
What is it you want to teach me?
Forgive me, you world around
What is it I need to learn?
If for this moment I break the rules of decorum
My friend is here to visit me
Hold me, dear friend,
And I must hear the message she brings.
Wash me in your loving tears
Come in, Friend Grief,
Don't let me run away from you
You who are a messenger of God.
I need the cleansing you bring.
What is it you have to teach me ?
What is it I need to learn?
My heart is pain within me
My body bowed with throbbing ache
I cannot hold you in, dear friend,
I have to let you go.
