“If we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord; so then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord’s.”  Romans 14:8

when we exchange hearts,

and when ours are broken;

when love is deep and abiding,

and when it is marked

“return to sender”;

when we easily follow you,

and when we constantly trip;

when we joyfully dance in wonder,

and when we hug the walls;

when we are the shining stars

in your constellation of compassion,

and when we collapse into

the black holes of fears,

remind us we are yours:

now,

then,

always
