Lift

And if, today, I offered refuge,

and if, in any way, it was received,

if I spoke truth about a living comfort

and if, at least in part, it was believed

Then I, too, can ride along the lift lines,

I, too, can share the haloed glow —

the gift of refuge, offered freely, will afford me

peace I otherwise might never know.
