Yard Sale



Time to gather up 
Old items and dirty cups
Clothes with only use as rags
Place them unto a bag
Don't forget the ones of stain
As we seek to be on the threshing floor of grain
There is one to come purchase it all
My prayer is that one accepts His call
No need to worry of putting up signs of the sale
It's all been paid for once received will live the tale
Of how the One who knew your every need
Brought forth the bread of heaven to feed
To cast out all the things this world did instill
As the living water begins to flush out and fill
Storing up new treasures not bought in this earth
Which is found through the heavenly mother birth
 In this poem to tell of the true sale
Of the One who removes weeds to provide a new trail

Now that my kind of tale and yard sale. My debt has been paid. I liked the analogy, Stephan. More people will understand our message when we start us stories as Jesus did to help them find the way to truth. Thanks for your inspirational poetry, my friend. A poet friend in Texas, Bill

Cast off all that is old and withered, remove the weeds to clear the yard for new cultivation. "As the living water begins to flush out and fill Storing up new treasures not bought in this earth Which is found through the heavenly mother birth In this poem to tell of the true sale Of the One who removes weeds to provide a new trail".... Beautiful Stephan!

I agree, all is paid for, one must answer and receive the call.

Much deeper meaning to this than yard sale I feel--as I read your poem, Stephan.

I visit a yard sale once a week. Wondering where to see you someday Stephan?... :) Your poem delves into one's inner being, protruding a broader meaning of "sale" and I can feel it from within. Thank for your wonderful thoughts for FREE! :) Cliff
