“THEREFORE I WILL PRAISE YOU AMONG THE GENTILES; I WILL SING THE PRAISES OF YOUR NAME.” AGAIN, IT SAYS, “REJOICE, YOU GENTILES, WITH HIS PEOPLE.” AND AGAIN, “PRAISE THE LORD, ALL YOU GENTILES; LET ALL THE PEOPLES EXTOL HIM.” AND AGAIN, ISAIAH SAYS, “THE ROOT OF JESSE WILL SPRING UP, ONE WHO WILL ARISE TO RULE OVER THE NATIONS; IN HIM THE GENTILES WILL HOPE.” MAY THE GOD OF HOPE FILL YOU WITH ALL JOY AND PEACE AS YOU TRUST IN HIM, SO THAT YOU MAY OVERFLOW WITH HOPE BY THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.”
— Romans 15:9-13

sprout, seed
tombed in earth
children long
for their rebirth

stretch, shoots
up through soil
children long
to rest from toil

grow, branch
lengthen limb
children all
to gather in

soar, tree
rooted deep
children nevermore
shall weep

sing, children
evergreen
peace at last
your Healer brings
