I Will be a Disciple

a few, clear voices,
when asked if they want to be
flames or disciples
I will be a disciple
Somehow different
than I want to be a flame
something to marvel,
to wonder at, even this young
I will, not I want
a disciple, doubting,
timid, afraid,
being blessed, changed
by the touch of the Holy Spirit
as if by tongues of fire
