Your family are the branches
And your friends are the leaves
Though your heart griefs
Take your chances
With Love
God is the sun
But people are the rays
We are all one
We are all ablaze
Even in the darkness
The nail is on the wood
Are bodies will still fall to dust
Babies are still dying in motherhood
But the swords gather for the just
The Phoenix is coming
Some friends stick
Like a stamp to envelope
Even when the time is sick
There is hope
They are like blood bonds
But the crab will unbury himself again
He has traveled often
He can’t wait for us to see the light and violin
And get out of our coffin
And Love and see others the way Christ has
