Reflect
Salt of the earth
intended for flavor
Lacking in saltiness,
what’s there to savor?
No longer useful
ends in defeat
thrown out and trampled
under the feet
There for the world
shining and bright
up on a hill
out in plain sight
Not under a basket,
on a stand, before men
Reflecting His glory
not light from within
Works in your own strength:
a bit like leaven
Reflect your Father’s
glory from heaven
(from Matthew 5)
