SUNFLOWER
(acrostic)
Sent by the Holy
Father on Earth,
Understands
men’s misfortunes,
Never complains
about anything,
Faces the
changing weather with courage,
Lives a simple
life in the field
Offering her
seeds to the hungry men
Without asking
for something in return.
Every summer she
brings a smile on my face
Reminding me to
bring a birthday gift to mother.
Tears...
One by one
They’re running
down the Holy Father’s cheeks
Witnessing the
original sin comitted by the first men,
Inherited then
by the vast majority of their offspring.
Reflected His
wrath
When the Son
sacrificed Himself on the cross
To save the lost
souls.
Of grief Mary
shed after hearing the news,
They turn to
pearls when they touch the ground.
Treasure hunters
see them as mere trinkets,
Only the
pure-hearted know their true value.
The Organ Concert
In the Lord’s
house we listen in silence
To the deep
sounds of the majestic instrument,
Sitting up there
from where it watches us like a sovereign,
Knowing well
that it’s not allowed to boast about itself
In front of the
paintings of the saints at the altar.
We slowly let
ourselves be carried by the waves of music,
Feeling our
souls becoming one.
Filled with
humility, crystal tears of grief
Are running down
our rosy cheeks.
We hear the
voice of our heart clearer than ever before,
We feel Father’s
hand caressing our crown,
Clearing our
troubled mind of worldly burdens.
The Blessed
Virgin Mary locks us in an embrace
Reminding us of
a mother’s unconditional love for her children.
The melody
attracted angels from the Celestial Realm,
The organist
respectfully invites them to join him,
But they
politely refused, taking a seat in the front,
Carefully
listening to the musical homage paid to Him.
We gratefully
thank God for all the help he gave us,
Promising to
show Him the respect that He deserves,
But how many of
us will keep our word to Him?
Only the Lord
knows what lies deep within each of us
Regardless of
the signs of the passage of time.
