Belonging to God

We are marked
not just by the waters
the Father, the Son,
the Spirit, marked
upon our lives
sealed, as with wax,
claiming us from our start
belonging to God, the King
lent only to us
those in community
fathers, mothers
neighbors, family
joined with Him
to raise them up
into his way, his light
for his holy purpose.
