Poem for 6th Sunday after Easter John 15:9-17


In a small forgotten corner of the world
There came one small child
----(love)
born of no one in particular
who lived the greater share of his life
unknown to the world
until
he began to tell others
----(one another)
of the love of their God
and how
--this love
which was known by all in this land
was not just
--a keep things as they are
kind of love
but a
--look what things are
----and could be
kind of love
that is hard for some to hear
----(as)
but brings hope to others
the ones who had much to lose
begin to worry
as they heard the word of God
in a new way
----(I)
and decided to stop
--this message of love from God
by stopping this one
who was showing them this love
and killing him
and they did
----(have loved)
but this one did not remain in death
and neither did God’s love
and the story spread
making more people uncomfortable
--(you)
and others full of hope
