Sister

I am a sister, whose brother is known
by almost everyone.
I am a sister, whose brother gave his
all for me.
I am a sister, whose brother talks
to our father.
I am a sister, whose brother understands
my desires and wants.
I am a sister, whose brother died
so I could live.
I am a sister, whose brother lives
in my heart.
I am a sister.
Jesus’ sister.

Daughter

I am a daughter, whose father is the
best father ever.
I am a daughter, whose father only
wants what is best for me.
I am a daughter, whose father loves
more than all his daughters.
I am a daughter, whose father disciplines
because he loves me.
I am a daughter, whose father listens
to my fears, my dreams, my hopes.
I am a daughter, whose father gives me
what I need, not what I want.
I am a daughter.
God’s daughter.

Faith

Faith.
What a glorious thing.
Belief.
In an all-knowing God.
Hope.
That we will go home.
Joy.
At the thought of what home brings.
Love.
What awaits us at the door.

Red:White

Red
The color of blood, Jesus’ blood.
The color of dogwood blossoms.
The color of the sun
coming up in the morning over the blue ocean.

White
The color of purity and peace.
The color of dogwood blossoms.
The color of the crescent moon
hanging in the morning watching in awe
as the sun fills the sky with light.
