January 15th

"For I, the LORD your God,
   hold your right hand;
it is I who say to you, 'Do
   not fear,
I will help you.'” Isaiah 41:13

when anger comes bursting
out of nowhere like a wildfire
wanting to turn us to ashes,
you don the turnout gear
to pump living waters to put it out.
when those who claim to love us
suddenly turn a shoulder which
is colder than an arctic blast our way,
you quickly knit a shawl
to wrap around our hearts.
whenever the world get in
our faces threatening to knock
us flat on our back,
you gently caress our souls,
whispering,
'take no notice,
i am with you.’
