Seed of Abraham
SEED OF ABRAHAM
HABITUAL attendance stacks the odds?
God makes no MISTAKES.
The stars twinkle day and night,
MYRIAD upon MYRIAD for so long.
Flowing robes, jutting HUMBLED chests
Caressing the torah, oh lovely scroll
Kicks those sinners in the pants
Dare they to DISOBEY the law
The blues: don’t dare to rearrange
Our lives so PEDESTAL perfect,
My mother so proud on the day,
I swore allegiance to my FATHER’S heritage.
God starts swatting those stars, like flies,
Extinguishing the cigarette butts,
Lassoing lies and stealing thunderclaps.
He kisses the newborn stars in his see-through palms.
They fly like butterflies, like fun confetti, like grains of sand.
Sky kisses at the border of heaven, the first stop.
Second heaven screams and stomps.
The third heaven awaits its lovely SPRING flowers.

Galatians 3:29 If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed,
and heirs according to the promise (NIV)
