Hi guys this is the continuation of the 4 poems before this. I took it from Father [Fr.] Alex Legaspi's message from St. Andrew Catholic Church's bulletin. I thought to turn it to a poem so that other people as poets can read. I have more poems after this. Hope you enjoy reading!

Father Christ Jesus listeners often got swept by His charismatic manner Blurted their intention to follow Him That does not mean they were ready to be true disciples of Father Christ Jesus In this Gospel story A man wanted to follow Father Christ but was deflated (let down) when Father Christ pointed out that He had no home His followers would have none of the things considered necessary for a happy life Following Jesus or Father Christ wouldn’t always be comfortable and that thought turned many away For the second man in the story The timing wasn’t right He wanted to fulfill his duty to his dying father before setting out with Father Christ Jesus sets the agenda Our duty is to obey Father Christ Jesus knew that looking back while plowing can ruin the job He used that example to help the third man that we need to have a singleness of purpose to His disciple We still have to make sacrifices to follow Father Christ Jesus But He promises that the rewards will be worth much more
