Just more than ...


1 Timothy 6:18-19

18 Tell them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, to be generous givers, sharing with others. 19 In this way they will save up a treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the future and so lay hold of what is truly life.

 

Just more than …

 

Expectations without blindness … unexpected reality

Little knowledge, lots of kindness … directed by normality

Greatness fulfilled in little people … life itself is lived right here

Where now the rich in their “happiness” as Life measures so near?

 

Is not life just little children … is not energy here measured?

Is not fatality expressed only in the place that matters?

Is not water made for all as the fish enjoy it too?

Maybe we understand the call to let life be beyond the clue

 

Existence is more than comprehension … it is filled with emptiness

To them that don’t understand it and survive in forgetfulness

Let me be yesterday’s failure and stand today by the lost in fear

Who is there to really measure being separated from their peers?
