August 15 is the feast of the Assumption, a day on which many believe
there's a special blessing in the ocean's waters...
How long did it take you, Lord,
to wash and smooth these stones
in the waves of turning tides?
How many years to polish to a sheen
the glistening lustrous beauty
of this pebbled, rocky trove?
Take not so long with waves of grace
to smooth all my rough edges, Lord,
to burnish bright what's dull within my soul...
to take me out to sea and back to shore
and there, at last, to find my rest in you...
Amen.
