What an idea, a gift, a different way
of seeing the familiar, the hopeful
the treasured scripture
He told us that in some translations
it is “pursued”, that Goodness and Mercy
would pursue us all the days of our lives
that the God of creation, would sustain us
would send out these agents of love
angels of better days, of His love
Richer meaning in the subtle difference
from followed to pursued
Like being Disciples, not just Followers
of the risen Christ
