2009 Poem ‘Sorrow – what sorrow?’ by Walter Lerchner, U.S.A. from the Book ‘Poems of Love and Seeking’ Page s 69 to 72

I think of the future
Is there sorrow
I think?

I think of the past
Is there sorrow
I think?

My mind goes to you
My heart fills with joy!

I might try to think
of the sorrow
the future might hold

I might try to think
of the sorrow
the past experiences have told

But then
I feel the presence of you
in my heart

I feel the Mother
playfully made us meet
Divine is her art

She looks out to the future
with a smile
While we worry about our part

What sorrow can there be?
What worry can there be?
With your image
dancing next to my spirit’s light

How doest the future
look anything but bright
with our Mother’s loving eyes
set upon our lives?

She planted the seed
Embedded in the melting of our lives
our fate became one by her vision divine

By faith in her a tree will rise
Spreading its fruits sublime
