Jeremiah 29:11


“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

the words that let me
take deep breaths,
the words that let me rest,

the words that say to me
in whispers and in sweet song,
the words that cradle me
and rock me to sleep,

the words that say simply:

There is hope.

Amen.
