Such Largess is Spread

When I was young, I planned — even prayed So that dreams of success would come true: A life lived large, a hand well-played— Traveled and homed, into fullness found through. But the way is little walked often in dark Caregiving Caminos paced through the night— Dreams so much smaller, in contrast so stark Lonely in lostness, a blessedness blight. But the Large breaks big over my head, Makes grand my small walk through this little ville. Sun and moon, trees and sky, such largess is spread And breaks open my world with its beauty to fill. While walking this lent life, my Creator speaks to me Of the little he became to set my heart free.
