Come. Poem by Fay Slimm

Come sip from the sea of contentment
and learn how to sing.

Stand at the gates of forgiveness and
know something of waiting.

Smell the strong scent of compassion
and study it's actions.

Taste the juice of understanding and
discover humility's facts.

Grasp the tough nettle of long-suffering
and start to fly higher.

Drink from the vessel of kindness and
try to really imbibe.

Sense the need for wisdom's experience
and never compete.

Seize the fruitage of a fine spirit and
master how best to eat.

Hear the music of goodness playing
its message of proof.

Come lie on the bed of genuine love and
learn more about God.
