CULTIVATE
A Holy Week Prayer by Sarah Are
Tell me again.
Tell me again to cultivate new life—
a life where I believe in myself,
a life where, dare I say, I love myself.
Tell me again to cultivate new life—
a life of dancing in the kitchen
and slow cups of coffee;
a life where Sabbath is viewed as a gift
as opposed to a luxury;
a life where I trust my own voice
and speak words dripping in hope,
heavy in love.
Tell me again.
Tell me again because I will forget.
Tell me again because change has never come easy.
Tell me again, because on Monday I’ll wave palms
And by Friday I’ll be at the foot of a cross.
So if you can, tell me again
Of the love that changed the world,
And my invitation to do the same.
