Tears and Angels

country as flag
A long time ago.
so lost...
in moments of fear
and hatred...

fury raging, and
fire,
burning!

I saw the tears of Angels
falling
upon my dirty face...

... my frightened face!

and I cried... aloud
and mostly for myself
... I cried!

heard them
say that the Lord died
... crying,
in suffering he died,
and for His Father...

... and that He died for all of us,
and for the very tears
of Angels
... he died...

... and for all the world,
... he died.

"Fear not Soldier!
... your scars are mine,
and they shall carry you
home..."
