Posted at 22:20h, 12 JuneYour “Prayer” was gifted to my teenage son who has been struggling with the thought that no matter how successful his acts might be, cannot be of much relief to the insurmountable sufferings in the world.
Upon finishing your poem, he gave me a big smile.
Thank you, Father Greg!
