After the molding, the
shaping
the creation of our lives
the Potter still there
the firings, the heat,
the flames and trials
our struggles, our growth,
ever by our side
Ever remaining new clay
alive, malleable,
in the Potter’s hands
even our shards giving,
able to be whole once more
as new clay, going back
upon the Potter’s wheel
