the wordless bracelet or la pulsera con no palabras
there is a bracelet
of five little colors
that changes lives
and bridges gaps.
it contains truth
thousands of years old
and speaks of living love.
black for sin, el pecado
red for blood, la sangre
white for purity, la pureza
green for growth, el crecimiento
yellow for Heaven, El Cielo
significance in each color
and language.
how many times
have i made this bracelet?
seven times seventy
it’s impossible to guess or count.
yet i would make it
seven times seventy more
because of the difference it makes.
i sit in different cultures,
making it with children,
tying it on their wrists
telling the meaning of each color,
telling them,
JESUS loves you.
JESÚS te amo.
this bracelet,
wordless no less,
telling the story of sacrifice,
of love,
in five little colors.
breaking barriers of language,
allowing me to share with others.
me encanata ese pulsera.
each time i make it,
i am taken back
to a child sitting on my lap
learning about JESUS,
color by color,
one wordless bracelet at a time.
