Bigger Than Life Poem by Carmela Patterson

While at Holy Mass on May 29th this impression was made upon me
and I felt impelled to write it. I did wait before sending it but find I can no longer withhold it from your view.

Prayerfully, Mel

' BIGGER THAN LIFE '

Standing before me, Lord, I see your cupped hands
and within them I see the new Jerusalem
gold and in miniature.

Then I see the earth in the form of a globe
and it also is in miniature,
also in your cupped hands.

You are bigger than life standing above all else
gazing upon Jerusalem so tenderly
and upon the earth so lovingly.

To picture Jerusalem so small
as well as the earth
speaks of your grandeur and majesty.
We are so small in the grand scheme of things,
yet always under your watchful eyes,
those eyes that bespeak of your love.
