Blessing

Someone dear gave this to me. He found it in a book called "To Bless The Space Between Us" by John O'Donohue. It is a blessing for the parents of one who is thought to have committed a crime. So...it is a blessing for us and I wanted to share it.

No one else can see beauty in his darkened life now.

His image has closed like a shadow.

When people look at him, he has become the mirror of the damage that they think he has
done.

But, he is yours. And you have different eyes that hold his yesterdays in pictures no one
else remembers.
