The Father speaks
His voice is heard
His command seems 
daunting or uncomfortable
We put aside or ignore
His request, but return
to Him when we have needs
and are willing to ask Him then 
for help even as we have 
walked away from His requests  
We are foolish people  
His Son taught us all we had to know 
and left the Holy Spirit with us
to help us if we were to stumble  
We fail easily and often refuse to go 
to the fringes where the need is greatest
Still we remain proud and even make noise 
over the little things that we do  
Retrospectively we may regret our 
actions and in-actions even while 
attempting to justify them  
Jesus said follow Me  
We should have no problem 
understanding His request  
If a person of importance sought 
a favor from us we would be 
honored and thrilled, but hesitate 
to respond to the Prince of Heaven. 
He forgives us and offers many more chances
It would be wise to oblige Him
We have one life and we should 
live it to the fullest
This would include following Him
