Behind the trees St Illtyd's church
stares onto picturesque Oxwich Bay
where the sea sparkles with gems
and seagulls scream a lament
to all those lost in the ocean.
I stroll to this church on the Gower coast,
it's one of the places I love the most.
There's a narrow window where lepers
used to watch the service within
wishing that Jesus would mend their bodies
and hoping he could heal their souls.
Yes, I walk in the footsteps of lepers
who perhaps gained precious moments of relief,
a temporary escape...from their grief.
