Do you think
you could have any gift
that isn’t Godlike?
Any being
that isn’t whole, sublime?
Any hope
that’s not a perfect homing
to where your Father keeps you
all the time?
Fear not, dear one,
for you were never lost,
nor ever tasked
to be your own creation.
Your Father-Mother tends you
without burden, without cost—
your tribute is the joy
of your salvation.
