Each on a journey
what we are called to do
bearing our own cross

“Our Cross – haiku – 2”
written at NH Bar Section Leaders’ meeting
-----------------------
We too can surely walk
Like the rock,
buoyed on the waves
on the waters of
life
leaving the boat
our comfort, our
pews
the four walls of
our sanctuaries
We too can surely
walk
on the stormy
waters
our eyes on Christ
leaning on the
cornerstone
Daring to live
ever
following the call
of your word
speaking to us
deep within our
hearts

about the poem below, “Walking on Water”
by Odeniyi
Martin Oluwafemi
when I posted it to http://www.christianpoetr.org
----------------------
Walking on Water
Unlike the others
huddled in the boat
afraid, frozen by the winds
the waves, crashing on the sides
He went when the master called
walking on the water toward the Lord
fear when the winds would wail
crying for the master’s hand
Trying to be faithful
to heed the shepherd’s voice
a prelude for his work
once the spirit
fell upon him in grace
Leaving the nets by the shore
following the savior’s lead
leaving the boat
for the water’s skin
his faith enough to stand
Called to follow in his steps
the rock upon the waves
to serve our fellow man
in ways revealed by God
Each of us has a part
a gift to do the work
to follow our savior’s way
to pick up our cross and walk
