In all the ancient storied script
Recited for our hungry ears
By priests and prophets in our tents
Rejected we the shock and awe
Of disappointment and of fears
A song of safety and of care
The strong and gentle parent sings
Reminder of what love will bear
To win the world from dark’ning sin
And carry it on eagle’s wings
One feather at a time is plucked
One leaf that withers in the heat
One cloud the sun could cover up
One cross cross out eternal hope
One stone could love defeat
by Carol E. Bayma
