                Deliverance         (poem)
                ===========


 A new star is shining in,
 The heavens bright.
 A new year is dawning -
 From darkness into light.

 Your tree is growing,
 Strong and true,
 To create the intricate design,
 The complexities of you.

 Spread your roots, drink it in.
 Spread your branches,
 And let the sun begin,
 To shine love within.
