National Poetry Month 2022, Poem #17, "Hesed"

Easter. Right now, I'm reading a book called WAYMAKER by Ann Voskamp.  Voskamp talks a lot about God's hesed love for us. I had never heard that word, so I went looking for a definition.
This found poem came from this article. 


 "Hesed"


Hesed.

unfailing 

faithful

steadfast 

compassionate

love.



Hesed

Not emotion

not a feeling

But rather

action

on behalf

of someone 

in need.



Hesed.

God’s

faithful

covenant

with His people.

Hesed.

Seems like a special word, Carol, new to me, too. That's great that you created a poem for it. Hope you had a nice Easter.
