(Composed after our latest gathering of
The Dinner Club, November 19, 2009).
A lively group of young adults,
Munching and chattering after work
About music, family, school or sports.
It's quite a party tonight!
A few tea lights cast their glow,
As pumpkin pie is passed around
And laughter flitters in the air,
When the door swings open and
The room grows suddenly still.
"A friend is in need. Please pray."
Instantly the separate clusters unite,
One after another petitioning for peace,
Uplifting a sister before our Father.
Of one mind and a single purpose,
Earnestly pleading on her behalf.
Interests, occupations, age, and size,
What naturally divides, now cast aside,
Huddled together before His throne,
His will to seek above our own.
