Follow Me (or Come and Go)

Originally written in 2009, this was my first real attempt at Haiku. It attempts to capture two main themes in Jesus teaching - first, we must come to Him, then go to others. Come and go; follow and lead.

Follow Me

Come and follow me
I’m the way, the truth, the life
Come! And follow me

Come and follow me
I’ll lead you to my Father
Come! And follow me

Come and follow me
Always love the Lord your God
With heart, soul, and mind

Come! And follow me
You’ll be fishers of men – so
Go! Make disciples

Go make disciples
Love your neighbors as yourself
Go! Make disciples

Go make disciples
You will lead them each to me
Go! Make disciples

Go make disciples
Let your light shine before them
Tell them – follow me!
