The world as we see it is messy,
And many in it think it is clean,
But when you see the problem,
Both spiritual and physical all around you,
You realize what is true.
The world, though created by the love of the Father,
And the wisdom of Jesus,
Is truly special
Yet we messed it up through our sin.
Let us repair the world through good deeds,
Let us be true to Christ,
Let us repair the world by choosing life,
By choosing love, light, and everlasting compassion,
By choosing what is true, and pure.
So that Christ may work through us,
His chosen people to repair the world,
Not with violence, though,
Because violence does not repair it,
It makes it worse.
Amen
A timely prayer/poem. I like that you state the problem and its origin as well as a solution we can choose to follow. The repetition of the word “choosing” makes a lovely sound.
ReplyDeleteI read your poem to Ruth Ann today and she said “Oh, that is beautiful.” And she said to tell you that she loves to hear your writings. It was good to hear it again out loud and enjoy the poetry of it.
