Dear Henri

Brian's Poems
Written By Brian Mueller

Dear Henri

Inspired by Henri Nouwen's
"The Return of the Prodigal Son."

Henri,
I hear you.
The world is full of ifs
and of conditional love
unable to satisfy
even those easiest to please.

Your soul,
my soul,
her soul,
all of our souls
demand love
from a source greater
than our comprehension.

We starve
when we compete
with those who are lost.

We feast
when we discover
our love from within.

The world's love is
and always will be conditional.
~ Henri Nouwen
