Yes, that's right! April is National Poetry Month! So, I thought I would share some of my poetry. In celebration of the month, why not pick up your pen and give it a try yourself? No, it does not have to rhyme. Just put some thoughts on paper. Enjoy...
The BIG Boss
Monday through Friday, August through June,
I am working hard to improve and fine-tune.
My boss knows she can count on me.
My students know what I expect to see.
When evaluation time rolls around
I don’t worry about what was found.
What would it be like to sit face to face
And be accountable to the Giver of Grace?
If twice each year I had to go before
God’s evaluation, would I do more?
Would I get up earlier for Him each day?
Would I live every minute in a different way?
What if God said, “I am firing you!
You are not doing all you can do?”
When I slack off, Lord, please forgive.
My daily job should not be why I live.
My job should allow me to earn a living.
But, real-life should be found in the service I am giving!
