We Stand as One

Reaching for light,
blooms bright against the
coming of the night,
we stand as one and shun
the close of day.

Sometimes, we sway –
together, not apart –
our fragile art made strong
by willing heart, by seeds
of tender care.

We share. The sun,
the rain – the shadows
as they fall. Well-rooted,
tall beneath
the azure sky.

His eye upon us –
born, raised up, and blessed.
Belonging to each other
and to Him, we rest –
our families whole.

Body and soul,
we follow in God’s ways.
Claiming each gift He gives,
we speak His name.
We sing His praise –

We bloom. He lives.
