Progress


How can one be the “original”

The one above the masses, a central

When voices and shouts have more strength

More satisfying sense to the sensitive of faith

That will go with a cause better than another

When one is cast aside for the more appealing order

First come first serve

Would one so small stand a chance against the seasoned,

Wiser, more experienced ones, something listened

But I give you something with the motive of filling hearts not stomachs

What could be better than something that is not fed to perplex

I write to fill out and in, to call and be called on, not just to be.

A quest, an occupation, a mission

I write as was commanded by the Great Commission

But He always did tell me that this would not be easy
