Buckets of Money

 

Haiku for having a go.


The journeying man,

in the story Jesus told,

left his slaves in charge.


Diff’rent sized buckets

of money according to

perceived competence.


Take what you’re given

and use it well, with wisdom,

grace and compassion.


Fear is enemy

to action. What if I fail;

what if I blow it?


The master returns

to inspect the estate. How

is your stewardship?


Days of accounting

wherein my efforts are judged.

I have judged myself.


Well done, companions,

you have loved, served and striven!

You are my true friends.
