Poems

If It follows me home
If it follows me home, can I keep it?
Can I, Mama? Can I?
How many kids have spoken these words
As they begged and pleaded 'can I'?

I imagine Jesus praying to God,
"Father, if they follow me home, can I keep them?
I promise I'll take care of them.
But first, I must go out and seek them.

I'll show them just how much I care.
I'll feed them with Your word
And, if they follow me home, can I keep them?"
This is what I imagine God heard.

So, like the sheep follows the shepherd,
We follow Jesus towards salvation.
We followed him home and he kept us.
Now, we must spread it to the Nation.
