drop by drop

“You withdrew all your wrath;
    you turned from your hot anger.”  Psalm 57:3

when your anger was so hot

it even burned your

fingertips, you

tossed it into the deeps

of mercy’s crystal sea

until,

as it cooled into droplets of

grace,

you pulled it out

and sprinkled it upon us
