I am
poured out
like water,
and
all my bones
are out of
joint;
my heart
is like wax,
it is melted
within
my breast.
[Psalm 22:14]

"How do
I know,
You're
taking care

I look at the PICTURES..
in..HAITI?"

the butterfly,
My child?"

"Right here,
child:
in the
Palm of
My Right Hand."

tell Me,
child;
where is
the bruised
butterfly?"

"Covered,
child:
with
My Left."

The Lord
is my
shepherd,
I shall not
want;
He makes me
lie down
in green
pastures,
He leads me
beside still
waters;
He restores
my soul.
[Psalm 23:1-3]
[A Psalm of David.]
