Ashes of Lent By Dolores Fruth
We begin our Lenten journey With the ashes on our brow. For 40 days we wander In the wilderness of trial. The ashes are the phoenix That helps us as we rise Repentant as our Savior Hears our humble cries. The residue of burning Is slowly left behind. We seek a new beginning On this journey of the mind. The ashes are for cleansing, An ingredient of soap, That washes us along the way To our own Easter hope. As dust to dust we will return Our journey will be done. We shake the ashes from our soul. Our new life has begun!
