Geese too


2 Corinthians 7:2-3 New King James Version (NKJV)

2 Open your hearts to us. We have wronged no one, we have corrupted no one, we have cheated no one. 3 I do not say this to condemn; for I have said before that you are in our hearts, to die together and to live together.

 

 

 

Geese.

 

They are moving in one direction.

One takes the lead well understood.

Constant talk shows a reflection

Of a common goal all for the good.

If one falls back,  another slows

to bring it back into the fold.

It never questions that simple role

that God has formed within its mold.

 

The geese are regularly changing leaders

without fussing as they move on.

No pride, no envy, and no cheating.

United until the job is done.

Now myself when someone falls back

Do I stop and figure cost?

And then proceed on my own track

As I judgemental label: "LOST".
