Tell us plainly

Haiku of the sheep

Who are you? they ask.

Tell us plainly, are you he

who God is sending?

You’re not serious,

he answered them. I’ve told you,

but you won’t believe.

You aren’t intrested

in what I have to tell you,

so stop pretending.

My sheep hear my voice,

they listen to my teachings

and they follow me.

I give them my life

and so we walk together

towards God’s kingdom.

They need have no fear;

I hold these sheep in my hand.

God gave them to me.

We act together,

the Father and I; working

to bring life and hope.
