Ashes, ashes
All are we
Flesh and bones
Is our body
Season here
Of days forty
Soul to grow
Spiritually
To our desert
Willingly
Focusing
On acts of three
Spending time
In prayer with Thee
Listening
Contemplatively
Time to turn
Away from me
Fasting from
Temptations be
God of grace
Abundantly
Giving alms
Generously
Knowing what’s
Ahead of me
Cross to bear
And great glory!
