Awaiting the Resurrection
I walked cart-rutted roads,
carried water from the village well
and gathered heather on the hill,
bore babes in pain,
and rocked them by candlelight.
These many years, my mortal remains
have rested in shadows
of the parish church, while I’ve grown
in knowledge, grace, and faith.
Today, you say my name,
breathe in my behalf,
receive long awaited promises
and covenants of godliness.
Thus prepared, body and spirit
will rise in glory from the grave
on resurrection morning.
