From Iron to Iron
Ask me anything   "At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, He saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of His mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that, having been justified by His grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life."
Titus 3:3-7

Cardboard

I opened a square, brown box made of flimsy, uncertain cardboard and placed you in it.
I gave you everything needed to suppress any impulsive feelings you might entertain.
I rushed back and forth grabbing whatever I could lay my sweating, desperate hands on.
You watched, smiling from your box like joy, like love, like everything you wanted.
You were surrounded by styrofoam packing peanuts hugging you better than I could.
And as I hurried in busy circles around you, time sneaked up and grabbed willing you
Placing you naturally, easily, next to all the other boxes sealed shut with sticky emotion.
Content, accomplished, you went away thinking, “You prepared me so well for this.”
