Weeping and gnashing of teeth should follow.
Followers shall be rewarded with a place to rest their heads.

Explore it—sow yourself into good ground.
Omnipotent and Omniscient, You have every tool at Your disposal.

A mere touch of the hem shall restore You.
However, be mindful of words, for they may defile You,
And through the core of all Your decisions, practice sacredness.
