Jaded: Word Ambassadors: Prayers and Poetry

                     Jaded

            Faced with amazement

            some looked for a catch

            not willing, or not yet,

            to accept astonishment

            at miracle unfolding

            too jaded by world

            too cautious to trust

            too many times disappointed

            by false words

            promises not kept

            attribute to God

            human failings.

            First step of hope—wonder, not jeer.
