MISSED OPPORTUNITY

 

 

 

 

In the 13^th chapter

Of Saint Luke’s Gospel

Luke tells the story

Through parables

As Jesus begins to

Pass through the towns

For the last time

 

Unfortunately

For many of the people

They were not interested

 

Today

We have the Word of God

And unfortunately for us

Many of us are not interested

 

In life

Many of the economic opportunities

Are unequally distributed

 

But spiritually speaking

We all have an opportunity

To look for

To search for

And maybe even find God

Living within us

 

Life is beautiful

Or at least can be beautiful

And I wonder

If any of us

Really take the time to notice

 

There are three things

That we all can do

 

We must love

We must love God

And we must love one another

 

And we must laugh

Laugh at our own foibles

And insecurities

They say a gloomy Christian

Is a non-believing Christian

 

And we must listen to

And be there

For one another

 

We shall pass this way

But once

And we must do

ALL the good we can

Show all the kindness

We can

 

Because

We shall pass this way

 

JUST ONCE
