49 words for Adote Akwei from Kevin Griffin Moreno:

Blessing
Bless means “to sanctify;” blesser means “wound.”
Their roots are watered in ancient blood.
It is difficult to be sanguine when
The heart pumps so far from home.
But our ancient roots cover oceans and
Course with the blood of the Lamb
Who blesses our hearts, sanctifies our wounds.
