day 285

 “Yet it was I who taught

          Ephraim to walk,

    I took them up in my

          arms,

but they did not know that

    I healed them.”  Hosea 11:3

 

convinced

you are just a

mean and angry

so-and-so, we

never notice you

putting the training wheels

on our faith, your

hand on our shoulder

steadying us as we

totter down the sidewalk,

your bending down to

clean our scraped knees

and kiss all the boo-boos

every time we fall off
