Moabite to a Jew
Your people will be my people,
words of Ruth
to Naomi,
Moabite to a Jew,
cursed to the chosen.
Your God will be my God,
a gentile speaks,
accepting a new life,
a new faith,
and prophecies gain a voice.
A curse against those
who did not bring bread and water
to the tribes
when the desert
was theirs to wander.
Your God will be my God,
one widow to another,
God's plan
manifested
in a proclamation of faith.
