A Haiku - Relevance
Gifts that are given to be shared....
Everyone can be relevant. It doesn't happen without us.
Am I relevant,
Pertinent to what we need;
Else why am I here?
I can write. He knows.
He can give me words to say,
Words I write today.
Pertinent, thoughtful,
Speaking to someone’s soul needs,
What they came to read.
They might not know it.
I might not know it either,
But the words speak soft.
A thought might stir then,
Seemingly from out the blue.
He meant it for you.
The plumber installs
The pipe that carries water
To the thirsty soul.
He knew how, not when
The water would be needed;
Doing just his part.
Soul thirst is like that.
We need not know what we do.
He knows and does it.
Smile for one to see
And know they aren’t all alone.
God gave you that smile.
Listen to a cry.
Respond with what is needed.
God gave you your ears.
Seeing, smelling, too,
Can come in handy each day.
Warning others “Now!”
The gifts He gave us
Ours to share along life’s way.
Not to hoard away.
What little we give
Was given us so freely.
So, freely give, too.
More blessed to give,
Though receive ourselves we have.
Find purpose in life.
Not mere mortals we,
When heavenly gifts we share,
Comfort, heal, and save.
Purpose for our life,
If we but know what we do:
Shared love made greater.
