Bethphage

By Myra Brooks Welch

A home for the weary.
   From star-lit skies
The sweep of light breathes an evening prayer
   And shuts tired eyes.

A home for the loveless.
   Like the soft beat
Of an angel's wing, love's service speeds
    On tireless feet.

A home for the helpless
    Never again
Shall these know neglect, whose twisted limbs
   Are racked with pain.

A home for the homeless...
   A place to stay
Until God himself, at last shall wipe
   Their tears away!
