the days


“The days are surely coming, says the LORD,” Jeremiah 23:5a

(however many times
it takes) remind us
that on those days,
justice will come, not
   judgment;
peace will arrive, not
   pestilence;
hope will be at our door, not
   hatred;
love will be sitting
in the porch swing, not
   our worst fears.
