a poem for us
Matt posted this on his blog - from the Northumbria Community in England. I post it as a poem and a prayer for the Community of Vine & Branches.
If you want your dream to be, build it slow and surely.
Small beginnings, greater ends. Heartfelt work grows purely.
If you want to live life free, take your time, go slowly.
Do few things, but do them well: simple joys are holy.
Day by day, stone by stone, build your secret slowly.
Day by day, you'll grow too; you'll know heaven's glory!
