To Truly Be
by Jonathan Ric
Three boys sit at my table
Too young to consider much
The world swirls around them
They need to develop some trust
What shall I suggest to them?
What truths are unscathed from the warfare of compromise?
Shall I tell them not to lie when lying is a national pastime?
Will they believe that being kind is possible for our race?
Or will they watch the atrocities committed in the name of God and country?
Will they honor women as equals and make amends
Or leer and jeer at the lasses, declaring them stupid with their careless friends?
Is the Golden Rule for saints
As gold, ruling the world, is touted as worth?
Can I teach them not to cheat when it seems that cheaters prosper?
Can I speak to them of God when others deny He lives?
Can they learn the power of humility and all the true grace it gives?
Do I have the courage to differ from the passive horde of sheep?
Or is my soul slowly dying and my conscience falling asleep?
I pass the food around the table and look at the young men before me
It’s time to shine
It’s a season of reason
Dear God, grant to me
The willingness to truly be
Our reader today is Jasson. He lives in Nashville, Tennessee, with three sons and his wife, Deahna
