so I will comfort you;
you shall be comforted in
Jerusalem." Isaiah 66:13
into neighborhoods
crumbling in despair,
you come, wearing your tool belt
filled with hope and grace;
where families are torn apart
by old grudges
and fresh wounds,
you swaddle them in
cloths drenched with
peace and forgiveness;
in places where children
are abandoned on the streets
by politicians and platitudes,
you gather them up
and bring them home with you.
