CHRIST IN WINTER: Reflections on Faith & Life for the Years of Winter
Sometimes there comes a
message
from somewhere far beyond
that tells me
I’m still here
that tells me to
lengthen my stride
hold up my head
look near and far
for laughter and joy
I used to revel in that
call
I straightened my shoulders
and went for the
barricades
Now I know the limits
of the summons to be brave
These voices never last
but for a moment
Yet the Spirit is eternal
The calls still sound
in echoes far and distant
And I still answer
Perhaps only from the
memory
of battles past and lost
But still I answer
John Robert McFarland
