Resurrection
For Dr. Stephen C. Wright

In the mountain skies of Vermont were heaven reigns,
Remembering the night while darkness surrounded me.
Beginnings of a life of prayer with an earnest heart.
Redemption always eluded me at Sunday Mass.

Seeking absolution for all the sins which came upon me.
Night prayers left a feeling of loneliness in troubled times.
My life song came when God saved me with his grace.
Easter Sunday sunrise birds flew in the open skies.

Celebration of birth came in the quietness of morning.
Tears of joy circled my soul for the first time.
God’s beauty never fades, giving me life eternal
