Just a couple more poems, now I am back in the swing of getting into my blog page. The first one was a prayer during one of those times when the black dog of depression had me baled up in the corner again a little while ago.
The second one, 'Come Follow', sort of wrote itself the other day. I had been having my quiet time the reading was in John, where Jesus talks about being the good shepherd, and his sheep recognising his voice. In the reading notes I was using the writer asked the question, 'what is distinctive about Jesus voice'. It sort of got me thinking about how I would recognise his voice, how would I or do I know it is him, and how can I hear above the busy noises of work and weariness.
I hope any of the 2 or 3 people who read this blog might find these poems touch a spot somewhere in their hearts.

Come
follow
Hush
child, be still, come follow
I
am with you, I will not leave
I
will never fail or desert you
Be
still, come listen, come sit awhile with me
I
know the clamour, I hear the noise
I
know the things that worry you
I
know your sin, it is forgiven
Forgive
yourself, stand up and follow.
Be
still little child, be still love of mine
I
am here, always near
Come
hold my hand do not fear,
You
are mine, you belong
Come
follow
