I Thirst

  I am
flesh
  and
blood
  and
skin
  and
bones,
  still
heart broken,
  soft
soul spoken. 
  Can you
hear me calling?
  Why then
are you stalling?
 
  I thirst.
    I thirst.
      I thirst.

  I am
the least
  of these.
Seek –
  you will find me
as you touch
  the stranger
in need
  as you plant
with your love
  a seed.
  Can you
hear me calling?
  Why then
are you stalling?
  Come…

  I thirst.
    I thirst.
      I thirst.

  


[Somewhere near you is someone who needs your presence, just a moment of your time, a gift of grace, a word of hope. We can meet God in the stranger.]

Absolutely spot on, Dawn! This is wonderful in both concept and form - I am always awed by your flexibility and by your innovative experimentations, which are ALWAYS so fitting and complimentary. LOVE the message in this: we have NO excuse not to do the little thing nearest to hand, and thereby to minister to Angels or the Lord unawares.... "whatsoever you do for the LEAST of these, my brothers and sisters". Excellent, motivational and inspiring! TY Kate xx

Very powerfully yet softly articulated, Dawn. A gem of a write!
There are a myriad of ways to help, if we just look for them.
well done!

I was about to crawl back into bed. Glad I read this.
Cos it is so true.
I just smiled at a lady at least 80 yrs young.
She called out to me. With a radiant smile thanked me for making her day.
One never knows the power of just a small kind gesture.
She gave the bigger gift.
