Turning Back

Mary

I cannot turn away from them. I must accept the fullness of sorrow which comes from looking and searching. I will never give up. I will never turn my face away.

Possibly, they will look back to me and I will save them. That is all I need, just a glance, a look, an attempt to turn back. If even one turns back for a moment, I will be ready to gather them in and save them from the waters of eternal death. They will be safely in my arms.
