Poetry Monday
Feeling a bit pensive today, being away from family and having time to ponder...
Yes, I stood there with the crowd,
And yes, I joined their actions,
But mine were not as bad as theirs
They were but just a fraction!
I did not throw the biggest stone,
When stones were being tossed.
T'was not my stone that caused most pain,
Could I, like them, be lost?
The rocks they threw were great, and were
With great precision met,
Mine was just a pebble, true,
Should I receive their debt?
Theirs, they cast with all their might,
Mine, with little force.
If greater strength means greater wrong,
Am I truly on their course?
When sins are being weighed at last
And punishments are laid,
Will the Lord request a smaller due
When my 'pebble' debt is paid?
Zip over to Delores at Mumblings
And
Jenny at The Procrastinating Donkey
And see what their Monday is like!
Me, I'm still rambling with my Husby and our friends. In the South of France now and heading toward Switzerland. Loving this!
I have already visited and marvelled at Delores and Jenny_o's creations.
ReplyDeleteI am glad that you are having a wonderful time.
And yes, I wonder. Is going along for the ride and not speaking out a sin in itself? Probably... Mind you, I am not sinless and in no position to throw stones.
Words to think about. I don't think there's anyone anywhere who hasn't thrown a pebble and I don't think the size of the pebble is as relevant as the intent behind it.
ReplyDeleteIt's not the size of the pebble, it's the fact that it was thrown in the first place.
ReplyDeleteInteresting thoughts! Can't wait to hear about your trip in future blog spins!
ReplyDeleteYour poem is lovely and has made me think - never a bad thing ... As a younger person I was thoughtless more than once and still burn with shame and wish I could go back and undo those things. They did make me more aware, so there's that ...
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful time, Diane!

All the best Jan
This poem really makes me think. Are there levels of responsibility?
