the call that I had dreaded
that one of my true loves was dead.
He was gone and no longer with me
He was with You.
It is only fitting.
It is only fitting.
He had loved you so and
served you with his life.
A priest in the order of Melchisidek
A man humble and often broken
his life stripped of its pride
and yet his heart bleeding forth with love
in the image of his redeemer
touching and healing the hearts of so many
especially those broken like him.
He loved the world and all its lands
not for the places but for the people
He saw the wonder in Your gifts
especially when man used his ability to be creator too.
He loved the subtle and gregarious alike
and yet suffered fools poorly.
Always wanting people to be their better selves.
(for "Unkie" - Fr. Albert A. Mark)
