i am israel

i am Israel.
Beloved,
but forgetful.

i have altars scattered in the wilderness
but I forget.

i am Israel
Known,
but Lost.

i have memorial stones on the path
but I forget.

i am Israel.
Graced,
but apathetic.

i have sacrifices made in the tabernacle
but I forget.

my memory is short.
i am Israel.

But I AM WHO AM
Does not forget.
Does not stop.
Does not end.

I AM
Mercy.
At the table.

I AM
Love.
Steadfastly.

I AM
never fails.

i am Israel.
but
I AM.
