Teach Them

No degree, no special schooling did they have
an apprenticeship, of sorts, perhaps
sitting at the master’s feet
watching him, learning from his life

A charge to keep, to the ends of the earth
to make disciples, to teach them,
to bear witness and to set an example
to mentor and to guide

Simple words, living in our faith
as He told the first disciples,
as they lived and as we have been taught
to share these lessons
to all nations, teaching them
the commandments of the Lord
the way to life eternal
