He will remove the veil of grief covering all people and the mask covering all nations…
I wear a mask
To hide my dread,
Turning on
My smile instead,
And listening to others
As they tell me all their news.
I wear a gag
To stop my mouth,
Silencing
My urge to shout,
While listening to others
As they chat about their views.
I wear a veil
To hush my soul,
Which cries aloud
To be made whole
By just a little care –
As they unthinkingly abuse.
…The Almighty Lord will wipe away tears from every face (Isaiah 25:7-8; GW).
