A Poem to Share - My first blog post at Poetic Inspiration

[Mary Moss]

Vanity of Vanities

In our striving to understand and
explain we labor in vain.
No deed can earn
No words express
No voice resound
No thought contain

The effort made
The sin forgiven
The hope renewed
The history changed
The night less dark
The day more bright
The hours more precious
The life well lived
The broken bread and wine consumed.

Vanity of vanities that we should even try.
Yet labor we each and every day
to capture full the grandeur and completeness
of the Love of God expressed once for all time
by Jesus on the Cross.
