POEM of the WeekT

This is my tent

Written by Christine


This is my tent.
I loved it well. 
I lay in it under many skies,
And took it over many waters.
I filled it with good things. 

This is my tent,
Now torn and spoiled.
Its canvas slashed,
Its ropes shredded,
Its beams broken. 

Thieves and marauders did this.
Greedy for plunder. 
Tramplers of earth,
Speakers of lies. 
Lord, have mercy. 

This is my tent,
Spread out for all to see.
Birds land upon it,
Insects crawl within it,
Emptiness lies around it. 

This is my tent
And I love it still. 
Yet in my grief, I have hope,
That heaven will house here
The bounty of hospitality.
