Matthew Six Ten Stump
MATTHEW SIX TEN STUMP
I picked up a new stump today
‘Twas cut from a giant pine tree
Matthew Six Ten is his name
His circles say he is about 93
Cut from the mid-section
Standing almost 16 inches tall
With the width of circumference
Being about 17 inches wide in all
The definition of
Matthew six ten
Is written in the Bible
As a glimpse of heaven
When I stand on my stump
I stretch up towards the sky
Visioning my heavenly treasures
Our hearts are where our treasures lie
The vision of my eyes carries my soul
My body soaks up and shines the light
The stump seems to shine the righteous path way
That feels like a glimpse of heaven within my sight
My Matthew Six Ten stump
Reminds me that God already knows
Of all of my needs while on this earth and
To be thankful for the time of now that grows
