A seed was planted many years ago
An immature thought covered in naivete
Roads diverged, paths crossed
Time passed, events unfolded
Marriage began, maturation multiplied
The metaphorical bun was eaten
We cried out to God for a revelation
Show me what to do
God protected and sent you
A “son of my right hand”-Benjamin- came forth
Joy filled hearts, sanctity of life
Time passed, events unfolded
The ground opened, radiation flowed
We cried out to God for a revelation
Show me what to do
God protected and sent you
A little MAN “who is like God”-Michael- marched forth
Joy filled hearts, sanctity of life
Time passed, events unfolded
God shook us, migrated our lives
The dormant seed began to awaken
Planted before families combined
Nurtured enough to sustain
Ten years along an idea took shape
Discussions, prayer, lunch dates
We cried out to God for a revelation
Show me what to do
Paper pregnant, shifting lives
A life with a non-traditional beginning
God’s hands around you in warmth and protection
God protected and sent you
Joy filled hearts, sanctity of life
“God is salvation”, Joshua
“God will be with you wherever you go*”
Three lives intertwined with two
“A cord of three strands is not quickly broken**”
And life began anew
