Poem Title:
Poem
There we were all tightly fit in a round circle of love Pipes jointed one to another fed love from up above Love was flowing through, with fruit each one supplying Peace, patience, long suffering, we were not denying Through the pipes a rumor flowed, meant for me to hear They never liked me, I knew that, so why should I care I didn't see the enemy laugh, as I became disjointed I did not love but did uncover, as my finger I pointed Then that one became offended and kinked up it's head "I know that I am right and I can't forgive them yet" Guilt and condemnation came and kinked the other low It wasn't long before the love there ceased to flow If I think more highly of myself than them, I am risen I stop the flow if I don't forgive, and I can't be forgiven Forgiveness can't flow to me, if I rise above my brothers To receive the fruits of love, I must humbly love the others Now I see and understand, "you reap what you are sowing" If I don't sow fruits of love, it will keep me from growing If I am to blame for hurting you or causing you to grieve I ask for your forgiveness and forgiveness you'll receive His love flows through my rusty pipe with some impurities But as loving fruit flows through from you to me, it cleans Humbly forgive my haughty pride that hurts, but don't forget I am still under construction, God is not finished with me yet He is using you to wash out of me these ugly impurities And for you to learn long suffering and mercy, you need me He cannot come, make us His bride, till we are one indeed Until the weld of love that flows, brings us in unity For all our hurts and insults were laid upon His back All He asks from us, is that we do not take them back He said, "Father forgive them, they know not what they do" And to us He says, "Forgive them as I have forgiven you!”
