O Divine Dove
of Holy Love
I trust in you;
when my life
feels out of control,
I surrender to you
and let you guide me
where you will,
and so I alertly
ride on your back,
as you take off
like a fighter jet,
ready to engage in battle;
as you twist and turn,
dive and soar,
through the turbulent
and stormy dark sky,
you pay no attention
to the deafening thunder
or the maniacal lightning,
but you protect me
and encourage me
as you lead me safely
to my journey’s end;
when I let you lead me,
I truly experience
the divine sense of humor,
and practice holy courage
and heroic patience,
as I once again discover
Divine Mercy in the dark night.
