I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with loving-kindness-- Jeremiah 3:3

IF I COULD SIT LIKE JOB
I want to sit by the pavement as Job did
When sores were plenty and
Nights were many.
I'd rather wear his flesh of scabs
With thorns and scorns
Darting here and there.
If I could wait as his heart did
Then into this quiet I will hum a lullaby and
Unto that valley of scattered remains
I will come home.
