Jerusalem

Written by Sr Sheila McGrath, February 1998

Sacred place
God’s space
Holy ground

Opening dream
Bridged stream
Journey started

Welling spring
Feathered wing
Healing river

Fine weather
Goose feather
Joy filled time

Starlit night
Candle bright
Children singing

Bridge swaying
People praying
Thoughts gathered

Heavy rain
Remembered pain
Reconciled

Word spoken
Bread broken
Friendship shared
