FRAGILE

God,
  it's amazing
  that You love us—
    understanding us
    as You do.

But then I see
  dust
  rising on the wind
  and understand
  You understand
    our fragility,
    knowing from
    what it is
    that we are made.

—Nancy Spiegelberg

"For he knoweth our frame,
he remembereth that we
are dust."   
Psalm 103:14
