God has a Dream
Lo! you are carved into the hands of God!”
The prophet says in awe and wonderment,-
“And in His palm there is a special spot,
For each of us in the Almighty’s hand.”.
He looks upon His hands the Lord of Life,
And sees the carvings on it,- you and me,
Engraved, incised, as with a carving knife,
And looks upon these carvings lovingly.
Good contemplates His palms with tenderness,
His children are carved into it to stay,
Engraved in love and mercy limitless,
The wondrous palms that vivify the clay.
God looks into His hands and palms divine,
And what He does behold is you and me,,
In every fissure of His hands and line,
In inexhaustible benignity..
He looks into His palms and sees therein
A dream divine - He hopes that will come true,
With “what shall be “-and not “ what might-have-been-”
A dream of blessedness for me and you..
*Isaiah 49.16.
