These hidden things

Haiku for children

The invitation

must be accepted, or else

it has no value.

The flute is playing

the children are calling out:

Why won’t you come dance?

Here is the offer

of life filled with love and hope:

RSVP now.

Share fully in life,

both its joys and its sorrows.

There’s no other way!

The children can see

the things that the wise refuse;

the wonders of God.

I see you’re weary,

your burdens consume your life.

Come, receive my rest.

My yoke is easy,

blessed with purpose and with hope;

come and learn from me.
