Our friend, Elly Lloyd emailed me a poem she wrote a few years ago, saying ‘I wrote this about three years ago,I didn’t really understand it then, but I knew it wasn’t the time, so I held it. I dug it out of my rusty old trunk today knowing I should send it to you and Gayle!’
Well the timing is great… so go ahead read:
Is this the gospel?
it’s more about trusting than knowing
it’s more about becoming smaller in the worlds eyes
than growing
it’s more about losing
than gaining ground
it’s more about letting go
than holding on
it’s more about weakness
than staying strong
it’s more about walking with others
than going ahead
it’s more about listening
than what’s being said
it’s more about giving than taking
to where more becomes less
and poor is rich
it’s more about revolution than revolt
to humbly live with the questions
and ask
is this the gospel?
