Hospital Chapel

Hospital chapel

Where the books give the undecided

A new decision to make.

The golden rule 

Is the same in every religion

They explain on the wall

And I wonder which Messiah 

Is listening today.

The atheist in the waiting room

Gets his tears out early

While the praying Christian

Like a mother wolf

Growling away doubt

Holds in the floods

That death 

Will never let out.

[Barry S. Maltese]

Perhaps, that is why hope is a powerful bandage. . . And we each have to deal with pain in our own way - according to our strengths . . . nicely done!
