Things (Matthew 6:25-46) (Luke 12:22-34)





There are birds

Eating seeds

From my feeder


There are birds

Nesting

IN my trees

The birds are singing

Lauds

Vespers

Or other hours in between


As I sit in my lawn chair

Pleased with myself

And all I see


My piece of ground

My home


Lord of all I own

Or a vassal

Servant really

Given talents to invest


Given things

Not just to have

But to share


To give my song

As freely as the birds


To chant my thanks

For all he has done

For me


And be ready to fly home

When called

Unencumbered by things
