No man is walking the shore.
No snow to buffer his steps.
Rain by the buckets.
Reminds us of our fallibility.
We are one of many.
From all over the world,
We have no claims than
Others can’t also make
The Child has been born.
This is significant in different ways
To each of us including the one
Sitting next to us in the church pew.
If Jesus is the Savior, then what
Are we? As He grows He will
Call on us to follow Him. We
Are already His Fan, but that is
Not enough. That would be too
Easy. We must be ready to roll
Up our sleaves and get our hands
Dirty, following His command to go
To the fringes and help those in need.
When this is finished, we will go to the
Next location. This will not be easy.
There will be conflict and fighting,
Sacrifice and slaughter, all in his name.
If we are loyal, He will call us home. He
Will be The Shepherd leading and
Caring for one flock.
