Sometimes

When the only

Thing we can say

Is

“I’ll pray.”

Doing so

Is enough.

 

Sometimes

When the need

Far outweighs our

Comfort

“I’ll see.”

Doing so

Isn’t enough.

 

Sometimes

When the cost

Are near and dear

Then

“But I,”

To keep’em

Isn’t enough.

 

Sometimes

When the need

Is deep

Then

“Here’s ten.”

Just given

Isn’t enough.

 

Sometimes

We have to

Dig deep

Pray

“I’m here,

Send me

Use me!”

 

Sometimes

Our idea of

Sacrifice

Is

Pathetic

In light

Of needs.

 

Sometimes

Our cocoon

Chokes the

Spirit

We never

Become

The butterfly.

 

Sometimes

The need

Must be

Met

By our

Hands

And feet.

 

Sometimes

Self-comfort

Keeps us

Blinded

Bond by

Evil

Not freed.

 

Sometimes

We must

Give all

All

For Christ’s

Love

To shine.
