Today I swam in broken glass
The judicial system
Institutions held dear
Incurable cancer for someone near
Today I hurt with God’s beloved
A prayerful man keeping cynicism away
A young leader’s faith unrecognized by the established
A family caught between hope and fear
Today I’m uncertain
So I weep
I wait
I bleed
Today I remember another
Who wept
Who waited
Who bled
Today I saw the shattered shine
It hurts
It waits
It hopes
Today I swam in broken glass
