Just to Be

Just to Be 
Jesus came 
to offer 
gifts 
that all might 
be one 
from Mary's protective 
birthing water 
a common 
thirst 
just to be 
star flower rock 
you me 
no need 
to usurp 
what surely 
belongs 
to the other 
the gift 
Jesus came 
to offer
is 
that we might 
discover 
we are 
one
