The Beautiful Life Retreat Part 4 'Rose's words'
I woke early on Thursday morning and opened my curtains, As I sat and looked out of my window at the remains of the two stone walls of the abbey reaching high into the sky, The refrain of Rose's poem came flooding back to me. Rose was a fellow retreatent who while looking at the ruins on Wednesday had written a very beautiful poem, she had kindly shared her words with me over supper.
Now these words spoke to me, childlike in their simplicity but so powerful
'I'm standing at the gates of freedom
They are reaching to the sky
I'm standing at the gates of freedom
They make me want to cry'
Hopeful tears escaped from my eyes and rolled down my face.
