fifth tuesday of eastertide


“Blessed be God,
    because he has not rejected my prayer
    or removed his steadfast love from me.”  Psalm 66:20

your love is so much
focused on us, you turn
off your phone, to listen
to us, even when we repeat
the same story over and over.
your love is so strong,
that even when we break
your heart, over and over,
you do not rush down
to the pawnshop
to sell your wedding ring
and buy a ticket out of town
