day 192

"'Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it!  How often have I desired to gather your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you were not willing!'" Matthew 23:37

you patiently follow us
around, trying to gather
us in your arms of hope,
but we are too busy
running around, pecking
at all the cheap grace 
tossed on the ground
by those who care 
nothing for us
