The Words of Her Mouth

Written on a napkin

Martha Spong

The Lord will keep
    your going out and your coming in
    from this time on and forevermore. – Psalm 121:8, NRSV

I reversed the words
As a show of confidence
In God
In my love
In my life:
“The Lord will keep
Your coming out and your going in
From this time on and forevermore.”
