few moments

a box

the tiniest body

grief
chokingly
sticking in the throat
palpable

questions
screaming in their silence

God gives
God takes

we easily celebrate the giving
but
can we worship in the taking

a song has been written
to celebrate the moments of this life

this song will be sung this morning
as we gather

to honor
the Giver
Who has chosen
to take

what is this love
that the One who gives
could risk our response
to His taking
