“The Cracked Cup” Poem on Ephesians 4:32 by L. Stevenson
Please handle with care, for I have a “crack.”
And that isn’t all in which I lack.
My handle is weak, so please take care;
Yes, sometimes life is so hard to bear!
And it appears to me as I look about,
Everyone has “cracks”; not all are stout.
And if not cracked, then broken, or bent;
Or scratched, bruised, torn and rent.
And since this is true, let’s all be kind;
Tender hearted, forgiving, gentle – not blind,
To the cracks, flaws and bruises each have got;
And heed the lessons our Savior taught.
Let’s bind up the cracks of one another;
And especially those of our “sister” and “brother.”
So exercise tolerance, and patience too;
But especially LOVE, for this is the “glue!”
