Oh Spirit of Love; lost ... far, and apart; away from any abundant freedom,
genuinely aeolian, without-You, soiled, sick, dying-naked cold alone, this is all
of me broken of-heart; everything I can-give, here I am, please, pick-me-up
embrace me carry me onward upon this awakening.
Gentle lullaby of truth so divine my Sweet Phonation of Grace Faithful Father,
Keeper of all Your Words Holy; e'er, Regal, Valiant; Just ... Brilliant Morning-
Sunshine recuse-Yourself as judge in view of my-irreverence complete; (blind) ...
uphold me in this hope; welcome me in Your warmth move me along further than-
ever-alone, could I.
Befriend me shower-Your-light, all the way-down, into the barrenness; valley ...
of-my-soul; wash-me relieve me of my retched self, that I may begin ...
(for You only to live).
(Yes Lover, of my life (clothe-me)) cover me moreover in this certainty))),
find me well within Your mercy illuminated high, upon the beauty; of Your gape.
So ... that being-restored, entire, delivered (in all my joy secured there in
Peace through You for the remainder of my days, here ... and beyond);
I know it will be then; for me, when received, in true liberty ... Your
perfect comfort (my soul ... may eternally abide-with-You,
in rest).
Orphanage home is her home..
Dedication with commitment
Modesty and submissiveness
God first before another..
Harmonious with pureness
Ruth is her name
for she's compassionate
Married to the kingdom works...
for she set sight to win the race..
Here comes love at first sight,
Love rapture!!..
Relationship to courtship..
Courtship to the altar..
Oath taken... (For better or worse)
Happily married..
2 years without progeny,
7 years down the lane with no offspring
Her plights..
Unbearable!!
Family Pressurized!!
Society criticised!!..
People Murmured and mumble...
Assumption without affirmation..
Her womb is damaged..
She abort severally so this is her curse..
She clamor and lament,
for barrenness hunt down her good works
And taunt her morality..
Her virtuousness vent..
She asked without an answer..
Silent with no results..
God why?? Is her everyday question...
Finally her question turn to adoration
Blessed year yielded result..
Yoke broken.. Barrenness banned.
Pregnancy to conception...
So Ruth fellowship and wrote..
Faithful God finally fulfilled..
Delay but not denied....
Her tears is wiped away
So she rejoice and name her child Rejoice..
Married and full of hope
She dressed herself for fruit
Not knowing a war raged inside
And the enemy had taken valuable loot
Year after year she waited
As many celebrated life they'd produced
While she sat on the lonely pew
Cursing the god who let her be abused
Working with families who had no value
For the children they brought into this world
She got the sentence of death
As the greatest sorrow to a woman, unfurled
No children would ever be housed
In the womb of a raped child
The infection in her tubes
Spread like weeds, consuming life in the wild
....green pasture
Questions arose, and accusations flew
To THE god who knew
....barrenness
Unwanted, and now, unfruitful
What could this woman offer to her king
Except remnants in 12 baskets
That she can't bring to release, in the desperate cling
To touch, to hold, to see, to experience
The joy of a nursing baby
So, in the middle of the night
She ventured faith on the wings of a maybe
He heard! He answered with a yes
And gave her productive tubes
That carried His breath of life
For the opportunity to prove
...He is Daddy God
.....and she is His daughter

Note: the sorrow of barrenness is deep and abiding, but is grace is eternal :)
Raised in violence
Never a soft word spoken
Dressed in guilt and shame
Pied Piper paid his token
Pushed, pulled, ravished
Men,women, no one cared
Dipped in blood and sacrifice
Familiar spirits purposefully shared
Loss, from beginning to end
Every gain took its price
For richer or poorer
Every desire has its device
Broken, bruised, battered
Nakedness on an open show
Putting forth the wretched split
Not knowing LOVE wants to grow
The thing avoided by humanity
Barrenness without a seed
Is the one requirement
Compassion needs
....to connect with eternity.
