Costs

Costs


Bitter hoppy drink

Foam slides over the edge

Brought by an overworked mom

Caring for me more than her own


I drink but I don’t think

Of the cost to myself, to her, to children

What of my liver? What of my work?

Can I get you another?


Full bodied and malty.

She scrubs tables and takes orders,

her children lie in bed hungry

craving something hot and salty.


Bubbly in the head I drive

home to bed.

Instead another bartender

leaving for home ends up dead.


Love Letter

Love Letter


God is the author. 

I am the pencil.

With me He writes

A love letter to the world


Jesus's Love

Jesus’s Love


Jesus died for you.

Jesus died for me.

For our sins he was whipped.

Yet His love for us can’t be chipped.


Elohim

In Me

Jesus is here
in me
a friend is He, 
to the sinner
like me. 
Jesus, 
the king,
sovereign is He
yet he resides
in me.
Lowly little me
