Each of us is as beautiful as
a pane of stained glass
We are fragile
And often feel like a jumble of colored glass shapes
Sometimes it seems impossible
to make these pieces of glass
Resemble a thing of beauty

It takes too much energy
We feel helpless to know which pieces fit where
We are lost when it comes to creating our own beauty
But isn't it wonderful to know it can be done

When I came to you
My tiny pieces of glass were jumbled
I carried them around in a brown paper sack
Ashamed of what they represented
And afraid they could never be put back together

As I near the end of my first clean months
I take with me the beginnings
of a new stained glass picture
It uses the same colored shapes
I'm just learning to create a new image

I'm still afraid I won't have the patience
Or skills to complete my picture
But I carry with me
The fragile faith that I can do it

I thank each of you here,
my new family and friends
For the part you played in restoring
my hope and desire to live tomorrow
So when you look at any stained glass window
Look with hope
And the faith that you, too,
are a thing of value and beauty

I dig deep to plant
The ground is dry
I plant alone
Pour scant water
Press down the earth, watched only by birds,
Grey sky.

I will wait
Through vacant winter
Listen for your voice
Naked sticks scrape in the wind
Hung with brittle ice
There is some color, red
Wind-chafed skin

But I believe in spring
In April's sweet showers
That pierce the drought of March deep to the root
Unfurling leaves kissed open by the sun,
Unmitigated tenderness unbruised.

I was once told only in dreams
Do dreams come true.
But I'm to tell, here and now,
Your dreams are up to you.
Like "The Rose",
we may pass through life
"Not Understood".
And maybe we won't
make all the friends we should.
But always treasure what you have
and in the mirror what you see,
Then strive to get all you can
and be all that you may be.
On the rocky roads of life,
you must be strong to fall apart.
But, I tell you from my soul to keep
Faith, Hope, and Heart.

Could live -- did live --
Could die -- did die --
Could smile upon the whole
Through faith in one he met not,
To introduce his soul.
Could go from scene familiar
To an untraversed spot --
Could contemplate the journey
With unpuzzled heart --

Such trust had one among us,
Among us not today --
We who saw the launching
Never sailed the Bay!
