Honored Guest
Powder sugar coated fingers, jelly
stains,
Muck and mire clinging tightly
Lie says, outside is where you need to remain
The door though is opened wide
He in majesty beckons in name
Hand in hand walking beside
As servant bent low bathing in gentle
affirmation
Not just feet but face and fingers too
Calling forth to the celebration.
Sweeping into beloved daddy’s arms
Brought forth as honored guest
Safely ensconced, worldly life can cause
no harm.
Though once again stumbling forth into
muddy hole
No strength of will to resist
Surely now the door will close
Yet still the beacon sounds
Enter here, water for washing ever
supplied
Untarnished garment awaits with crown
Come and dance, the call the same
Seventy times seven and forever more
The wiping away of shame
“Loved one”, continual access to Abba
father
The invitation indelibly stamped in the son’s
blood
Always and eternally beloved daughter
