Surprise

A woman! Really that was the last thing I expected.

A woman. Yet what has dogged my feet has been

Others who feel as though they don't measure up

Can't be loved, not good enough, evil, sinful

Where does it stop? Because the words are

There for us to read, children brought in

Women spoken to and touched

I have loved you with an everlasting love

The steadfast love of God, existing

Time and again, through the age

And still we believe the other words

You are not enough, you are wrong,

You are less

Believing that somehow, someway

They are true when the words are not

Because we are heirs in Christ, children

Of God, whether we are Jew or Greek or slave

Or male or female it levels the board

Clears the deck and claims you as good!
