Weekend Words & Sunday Stanzas – 10/16/2011
As I discussed those for whom it takes a little extra effort to show love, I thought today’s poem was a rather good fit. It is a bit of a cry out to God in those times when it feels like no one wants to listen to us about God.
will not listen
daniel m klem
i speak to them
they argue back
i try to teach
they just attack
those who listen
speak next to me
nonlisteners
persecute we
who teach nothing
but the gospel
and will not hear
what we tell
God might put it
inside their hearts
but they will still
take us apart
both verbally
and physically
but they cannot
stop spirituality
i will continue
to tell the tale
of how Jesus
died for us all
Taken from simple words for God from a simple man of God by daniel m klem, page 94.
