Saint Kevin

Monks taught you,
But you did not dwell
With your brothers,
Went the hermit's way,
Prayed alone.

A blackbird
Laid her eggs
In your hand.
You held them
Until they hatched,
Her whole world
In your hands.

The heaven's are retailer God's;
The earth God gives us.
Teach us to love this world,
To hold its eggs gently
And when they hatch
To open our hands
And glory in their flight.
