WORLD AIDS DAY

December 1, 2005

Someone is coming . . .
We are waiting . . .
Someone is coming to grant dignity to long-suffering bodies . . .
We are waiting . . .
Someone is coming to the breathless . . .
We are waiting . . .

Someone is coming to those who lack energy . . .
We are waiting . . .

Someone is coming to those who grow thinner day-by-day . . .
We are waiting . . .

Someone is coming to those who don’t know if their hands will work
tomorrow . . . 
We are waiting . . .

Someone is coming to those who have neither mother nor father . . .
We are waiting . . .

Someone is coming to those who cannot get medicine . . .
We are waiting . . .

Someone is coming to those who have lost hope . . .
We are waiting . . .

Someone is coming who has overwhelmed death . . .
We are waiting . . .

O come, o come Emmanuel, and ransom captive Israel . . .

    This was great this morning. I actually thought that if I were blogging regularly, this would be something I would put on my blog. Oh well, I’ll vicariously post through you.
