The Rocks

His sermon, on the rocks
the important things in our lives,
not the sand, the water, the little things
the distractions that fill our days
remembering to start with the rocks
those things, the people, our faith,
of lasting worth, of value
Starting there, the rest falling into place
carrying only the yoke of Christ,
not the unnecessary burdens, the law,
our culture’s demands
simplicity in our walk
focus, rest from our burdens
caring about the rocks alone
the rest to follow in its time
