Luke 15 - The Real Assets In Life

Our assets stabilize our lives
As we move on each day,
Give us a place where we can stand
And point us in a way
Like left foot when we're walking
Along some slippery slope
Till right foot gets established there
And actualizes hope.

It doesn't always work out,
How quickly we get lost;
We wander off a cliff-face
Resent the guy who's boss;
Stay home and be resentful
That we don't get the most;
Fall in between the cushions,
Like coins of guest or host.

But God the father loves us,
As God the housewife too,
And to God the shepherd seeks us –
That's me, and you, and you.
He bids us care for brothers,
And sisters, dads, and moms,
As members of one family –
That's how his kingdom comes.
