Dragoman ...

Today's word is "dragoman" ... DRAG-uh-muhn. (In Near East) a professional interpreter. (Dictionary.com)

Tell

Observing in the dark of day,

     how man seems to go astray,

And weave and buckle at the slightest thing.

It leaves me always wondering,

     and wishing for a dragoman,

           to help me hope and understand.

The signs I see here, all around,

     make me think solutions won't be found, 

           until it's too late and all is lost. 

Then I remember at what cost 
     to God was cast, 
          in his great will to save at last, 
               all his children whom he loves 
                  and hounds always from high above

 'Til they see his holy ways and bow,

       low in reverent true sorrow.
