Brother Roger 16.8.2010
No words can ever
express the depths of pain
that struck
five years ago
this very day
an elderly man
who meant so much
to so many
and showed such practical love
talking always from his heart
with that husky
instantly recognisable voice
was suddenly
robbed of life
by someone he was
trying to help
As he rests in peace
his legacy
living
lives on
as the Christ he served
still calls
and we
entering deeply the mystery
of the silence
he inhabited so effortlessly
find we are
called
to carry the torch
that dropped from
his dying hands
