Poem#8 Left At The Door
At every door of conversation will see a pair of shoes
Could be out of habit or the way we’re raised in thinking
Leaving what others called dirty behind
Offensive words ensue coming from misunderstanding
Despite good intentions, brings up insecurity defenses
It’s what happens when we walk in with stinky feet
Truth may walk into every conversation with good intentions
Unfortunately with the smell of judgment turns the nose away
Making those in need of conviction turn away, missing key words
It happens when we leave Love at the door instead of bringing
Because we just don’t understand what Love does when He enters
With the sweet smelling Grace that leaves the stink behind
No question every conversation will have dirt hidden in the soles
As Everyone needs the cleaning of Amazing Grace that Love uses
Even though Love Judges with Truth it’s heard with Humility
Forgive us Oh Lord when we forget to bring Love when delivering
Your Truth.
