I SAW

Margery Macdonald Cantlon

I saw as mortals see,
and there was only loss and anguish there,
which filled my heart with long and dark despair.
I prayed
for angels' wings to lift this burdened weight,
release my captive soul from lust and hate.
I saw what God sees.
There came a white, descending dove,
and all around appeared His love.
