Life, a retrospective reflection, <br />Like a rare, turn of the century stained glass window. <br />In due course, portions stained and sordid, <br />Lacking true meaning and purpose. <br /> <br />Yet just as the stained glass window, <br />Life comes alive with radiance and beauty. <br />A solitary event transpires and inspires, <br />Glimmering light from above shines through. <br /> <br />Suddenly and spiritually, raptures of beauty, <br />Myriad of stained portions, uniting in elegance. <br />A portrait to behold, a story to be told. <br />Such it is with the stained glass window. <br /> <br />And so it is with our life, as the light shines through, <br />A newborn redemption and grace, <br />Beauty to behold, a story to be told. <br />And so it is, with the stained glass window.<br /><br />Barry A.
