Ruth's Poem

Let love find you

Let love find you, for it seeks you now.

Stand in the open doorway and welcome it in.

This is your home -

this body, that today is heavy and sad,

another day will dance.

Listen – even the small birds

who tease wool fluff from the gravel

bring messages of hope.

See – even the magpies and the crows

are beautiful.

You will laugh again -

first learn to laugh at yourself.

Listen to your own prayer -

answer your own question.

Let life find you, for it seeks you now.

Stand in the open doorway and welcome it in.
