Thou Art Peter III Viva Il Papa!
From the poetry of His Holiness John Paul II. (Find more poetry here.)
from Space Which Remains in You
John Paul II
(spoken by the apostle John)Your arms now remember His space, the little head
snuggling to your shoulder,
for the space has remained in You,
for it was taken from You.And shining never empty. So very present in You.
When with my trembling hands I broke the bread
to give it to you, Mother,
I stood for a moment amazed as I saw
the whole truth through one single tear
in your eye.
