Clothed

Magnificent fabric
flowing, translucent,
shimmering, radiant
such are the garments
of the plants of creation,
the wings of the butterfly,
the plumage of the birds of the air
These, far more perishable than we
given by the creator to each
How much more must God
care about clothing us
ones who can return his grace
with love, love to heal the breach
to bring us into relationship once more
to face each day anew, without fear or care
knowing, believing, that God will provide
for us, if we but call on his name
and serve him each day
