Wild Animal Within
I want to befriend
The wild animal within
To sit with and know,
To encourage and mend.
To tame its twitches,
To friend its foes.
To flame its courage
And pull up its britches.
To walk the way
Of the narrow path,
To head North even with Rath
And help it trust You and all You say.

Lent is the practice of sacrifice (going without) and remembrance. I am giving up chocolate this year and will try to write a poem in my new “Lent Collection” each day. Enjoy!
Inspired by:
“Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.” (Matthew 7:13-14)
