O mother, our Father

She groans, our mother,
the earth:

"When will they remember,
my children,
the children of God,
and reveal their dirt,
rub in the dust
to which they will return?
I want to replant them,
to watch them grow,
to see them weep with me."

O Father in heaven,
remind us of our earthiness
and the place your Word made.
With words and touch
make us reminders,
the sons and daughters of God
being revealed.

(Romans 8:18-25, Psalm 126, Luke 13:18-21)
