WINDOW WASHER
    by Catherine Lawton
    We need to perceive the Truth.
    Yet, darkly we peer through the glass.
    Clean me for use
    Free me to serve
    Lift me to reach
    That I may wash windows for You.
    Wrong doctrine obscures
    Gray living besmears
    Raw weather, it blurs
    The pane on this side.
    Provide a soft cloth--not abrasive
    The vision to transcend the obstructive
    And courage to rub for perfection
    Searching
    Editing
    Polishing
    'Til, through one clar corner,
    Someone sees You.
