Mulberry tree messiness

Haiku of insecure faith

Lord, increase our faith.

Why do you make this request?

You have all you need.

A mustard seed faith

would see you directing trees

and they would obey!

What a metaphor

for faith that is sufficient;

the uprooted tree!

Hail mulberry tree!

Generous red stickiness

and messy fingers.

You have faith enough

to tread discipleship's path;

put it to good use.

Being uprooted,

with red mulberry tree faith

and sticky fingers.
