Follower Of God. Poem by dave lessard

To be a follower of God
you must leave it all behind;
the ego and the vanity
of the heart and of the mind.
To be equipped with love
you first must love yourself;
then your neighbor, then a friend
put anger on a shelf.
You must shed your baggage
get rid of guilt and pain;
repent and say your prayers
then do it all again.
Be a light to others
forgive them for they're hurt;
let the old wounds heal
buried in the dirt.
To be a follower of God
in your life He must be first;
then 'drink' in His word
and you will never thirst.
