This year we are all
Frayed around the edges
Wheels wobble and threaten to roll off
Relationships can be tense and anxious at times
Fingers pointing, fault lines drawn
Whose fault is it anyways?
We’ve all inherited trouble
All have passed trouble along
Instead of blaming with pointed fingers
Instead of self-protection and mental isolation
We can acknowledge that we are all in this together
Imperfect and in need of mercy
From God
Others and ourselves
The humble road is the path to life
The humble hand extends mercy and
Receives mercy
The humble heart
Has room to expand
To grow love
And give it away
