Becoming like children
peeling away the layers
our experiences clouding
our vision of God
The lies of the world
layer upon layer
keeping us from truth
the simplicity of God
Love alone,
this is the message
all of the teachings
boiling down to this
The guile of those older
older than young children
trying to read more
into everything
God calling to us
come to me as a child
simple and humble
sit at my feet
The lesson of the greatest
in God’s heavenly kingdom
stripping away all pretense
coming to him humbly
humbly as a child
