Poetic Asides/ Poetic Bloomings 8-2 metaphonr

 Fruit of the Spirit

 

Love is a mother hen

Standing in the rain

With wings over her chicks

Pecking at them when they misbehave

 

Joy is a deep well

With happiness on the surface

But the live-giving water

Springs from the deepest part

 

Peace is a foundation

Supporting the building

Standing through storms

Strong and unshakeable

 

Patience is a good fishing reel

Bringing in the fish

No matter how long it takes

Without falling apart

 

Kindness is a butterfly

Cheering people

Making them feel special

Flitting happily about

 

Goodness is a bar of soap

Fragrant and cleansing

Pleasing to the senses

Destroying contaminants

 

Faithfulness is the sun

Still shining even when

Obscured by clouds

Giving light and life

 

Gentleness is a muscle man

strong enough to lift a piano

and sit it down without breaking it

or making it go out of tune.

 

Self-control is a hall monitor

Telling the children to slow down

Even when every fiber of their being

Wants to race and get there first
