We
have traveled a long way
We
have come real far
Don't
how we did it
We
came by buggy and car.
Those
ideas did not leave
You
and I both know
They
have been planted
Other
seeds we had to sow.
Now
is the time
I
know quite well
To
drink from those stories
Thirst
quenched from the well.
Which
will be first
What
theme to be told
Health
and well being
Or theology
of old.
In
their bodies they bore
The
wounds from the fight
So
how to protest
To fight for what is right.
Or
maybe we will linger
Over
stories we cannot resist
Narratives
of hope
With
a theology of persist.
Religiosity
of coping
Is
read from the books
I
think I'll land on persistence
And
linger down by the brooks.
The
rivers they run deep
The
waters run cold
Stories
are calling
It
is time they are told.
