“The Kingdom’s Kiss”
A week or so it burned that way
(Quite electronic), day by day
And through each night, for those come too,
With needs unique in all we do.“Lord Jesus, now we move from here
As victors – not succumbed to fear –
Not by our strength but by ‘Your grace’;s
‘All our relations’;’ Kingdom space’”One time the right wheel on my car
Sat there quite still – it could go far,
But couldn’t move without the aid
Of other parts which had been made –“I am not worthy to request
A helping hand from all the rest;
I spend my days in sand and dirt,
Dependent always in my work”.Hey! Buddy! Skip the “worthy” stuff
You’re part of larger body – tough
It is to drive with only three
Of you – so skip the moaning – please!“Unique we are, yet part of whole –
A fact I did not always know
Society says, ‘I’m the man –
Big wheel – I win because I can’.“But me – I would not trade one day
For multi-millions – think that way –
For these relations now I’ve found –
Relate I can, here on this ground.“O Lord I’ve seen the millionaire –
Cash did not touch his journey where
It counted most – when illness hit –
We each play part – just part of it”.Six ways now I’ve heard “Kingdom” seen –
As layered glass where blocks have been;
As kite turned now to catch the breeze;
As barrier laid flat which frees –As deep imperative of art;
As rising to the sky like lark;
Now as relating to one’s kin –
In all I do permitted in.“Seek kingdom first and all the rest
Provided is, the very best –
But seek “the rest” and you will miss
The Kingdom’s blessing with His kiss.”Thanks Lord for this.
