BLESSED
Famine rolled in,
like thunder over the mountains.
Yet, she stands
firm and established
on the shores of hope.
As Joseph stored grain,
so she stores promises—
secrets held deep
in the storehouses of her roots.
Filled to overflowing,
she pours out cool
waters of peace
in the drought and heat.
She gives all she has
and never wants,
because she has confidence
in this:
“Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord,
whose trust is the Lord.”
