Thank you

     for leaving the garden,

     safety and security

     welcoming children

     heartache and difficulty

 

     for accepting labor

     blood, sweat and pain

     calling on God

     again and again

     for accepting agency

     grieving lost children

     establishing family

     setting righteous pattern

     for building an altar

     symbol to remember

     and introducing

     Christ’s atonement and forever
