Poem for Today

Outstretched Arms

A message from the Cross

When I see you hurting

so much that you

don’t know which way

to turn;

I want you to see My arms

reaching down, outstretched,

to enfold you and hold you

in love.

I need you to understand

that I came here for you;

to be there for you

in this moment.

I’m always here waiting

for you to come to Me,

and in the silence

know that I care.

When I see you hurting

I want you to see my arms,

I need you to understand

I’m always here waiting.
