With Lent around the corner, here’s some food for thought,
Christ left the noise of the world; prayer is what he sought,
We must find our “desert” or fly to Montserrat!
Time for prayer, time for God…should fill our Lenten slot.
Too many hit the range, few work on their chip shots,
Go to wear it hurts more, toughen up the soft spots.
Hugging a prickly person, kindness must be wrought!
“No roses without thorns,” true peace cannot be bought!
Flee to Mary often, let her untie your knots,
Sweeten Lent with love, this is what Christ lived and taught.
