I have always wondered,<\/p>\n
why are church windows cracked?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Why Mother Mary is shown<\/p>\n
in broken pieces;<\/p>\n
as if different colored glass would hide the<\/p>\n
gaps that the light strikes<\/p>\n
through.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Was she hurt too?<\/p>\n
Shattered when He left,<\/p>\n
and all she could do was pray? For<\/p>\n
Him to bring the heavens down,<\/p>\n
and stay at her side as his rightful place.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Let every Scripture, every sermon<\/p>\n
serve reminder \u2014<\/p>\n
God does not belong on Earth.<\/p>\n
