Baubles

We pray for baubles

Every day.

The proof is there

we say.

The baubles come.

The baubles go,

God steps in

And out,

And so

the proof is here.

Then gone.

 

I dreamed of all the baubles.

 

My Pastor told me "God will help.

You just need faith."

I tried on faith

In many sizes

But they always shrunk in the wash

until, after many heartaches

from

leaning on baubles lusted

and gone,

He spoke.

I died for you!

Is that not enough?
