Mercy in this world

by Jon Katz

  “There was a child named Bernadette
  I heard the story long ago.
  She saw the queen of heaven once.
  And kept the vision in her soul
  No one believed what she’d seen
  No one believed what she’d heard
  That there were worrows to be healed
  And mercy, mercy in this world.”

 
    Verse from “Bernadatte,” by Leonard Cohen.
