they are out there Lord

they drift through my day

some I see clearly

their faces are etched in my mind

haunted hurting

frightened

angry

compassionate faces

some drift vaguely by

holy

to be noticed

listened to

valued

loved

a sacred trust

ears that hear

a heart that is open

a Spirit that seeks
