Poem
(*based on the parable of the talents) Now, Little One Let’s see what has been done with the precious bit I left YOU with. I have been much afraid. Knowing you have paid and made great sacrifice, I could not entice it from my hand to spend it on some unsafe plan. So, I have wisely buried it in the ground, and sure enough I’ve dug around and found it. Here, you have it, safe and sound. I gladly give it back--perfectly intact Little One, my heart is broken, for this bit I left you was but a token of the promises I’ve spoken. I invested in YOU. There was nothing you could do but win. If you had tried and failed, you would have nailed it! Wiser you would be and my return I would see in a servant made savvy. The risk was mine, taken to see you shine. Little One, you were wrong from the start. Something deep within your heart has deceived and made you believe that I am only to be feared, while all along I’ve cheered you. Please go your way. Tomorrow yet another day you have. While day is lit, go make the most of it. Don’t hide and quake, refusing risks to take. For surely more has been wasted simply not being tasted This whole misunderstanding of you believing me to be demanding, was because you saw less good in me than I chose to see, in you.
