Rhapsody

My callous heart he softened
My downcast spirit he softened
At his words I marveled
and his mysteries unraveled

When I sought his face
I was caught by his grace
I was clothed in his peace
and a garment of praise

He turned from his wrath
and showed me his path
my maladies and tragedies
He replaced with rhapsodies

My afflictions so peripheral
Heavenly bliss eternal
Heavenly bliss eternal
that our Father has sworn
to his children forlorn

A Poem by Bindhu  Joseph
