One day

     There was a traffic light

            Suspended

                   Hanging

      The light was red

              Brilliant

                     Crimson

I saw the Sacred Heart of Jesus instead

             That great heart

                   Beating to exhaustion,

                      Suspended, consuming itself,

                            “suffering so many things for my transgressions,-hanging on the cross

                                      with arms extended”    (Imitation of the Sacred Heart)

O Jesus, My Jesus

      I offer thee the Immaculate Heart of Mary

My Jesus,

    The Immaculate Heart of Mary

         The Immaculate Heart of Mary

             The Immaculate Heart of Mary

The light turned green

O Jesus, My Jesus

           I must go  -    maybe the next one will be red.
