Poem based on Matthew 22:1-14 The Parable of the Wedding Banquet

This gift of life

So busy

I have to slop the hog

Walk the dog

Wash the car

And drive very far

So busy

With this life you have given me

I just don’t have time

To live it

There is church work to do

Have to bring others into

My

Fold

I don’t have time

But thank you very much

Some other time perhaps

But who are all these people sitting in my pew

And how did they get in

And the music is different

Pot luck food not the same

I don’t know why you made life so hard Lord

Too much to do

I have to get ahead if I am to enjoy

This gift

Of life
