Poem based on Matthew 15:21-28

She looked up and said Daddy

I love you

and I knew there was depth that was unsurpassed

She loved

not out of need

not our of want

but out of the depth of her life

Oh to have love like that

deep total faith

and adoration

The woman knew that

even with the expected words of the time

She knew that love and adoration

and faith

She knew this Jesus was the one

the Holy one

who could being life

in the midst of death

and Jesus looked at her

breaking through

theology and tradition

and said

to this child of God

marginalized by our own insecurities

You of great Faith

Go in the Peace

You bring to this World
