Analysis of Reflection
If one day I may say
I have caught a pearl in rain
Then perhaps the walk was worth it
Worth the cold and the shame
If some day I may claim
I have found a rose in a desert place
Then perhaps the walk was worth it
Worth the hunger and the pain
The other day - I may state -
I saw God and His beauty in my fate
The walk was worth it
Worth every prayer in His Name ...
