New life
New life; amazement fills the room,
wonder read on all the faces, deep
thankfulness irradiates the place
The son who was lost was welcomed home
New birth; awe in the eyes of fathers and mothers
astonishment as one responds to life’s miracle
gratefulness permeates the room
The child long awaited for is finally here
Both prodigal children and newborns, indwelt
by his presence, the spirit’s power at work
In the perfection of the moment, in the exaltation of all the senses,
In the liminality of our incredulity becoming our own reality
both children point beyond their miracle birth
To the loving Craftsman who turns any ashes into beauty
NDLR: Une nouvelle vie, une nouvelle naissance, la puissance de l'Artisan aimant qui transforme les cendres en beauté.
