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.
