Call and Answer

As I am preparing to preach on Jesus' call to the first disciples as told to us in Mark's gospel, I found this lovely poem. 

Blessings, Emma.

Jesus called
Simon and Andrew.

No questions,
they dropped their nets.

James and John left their boats
and left their father
sitting in
one.

Jesus,
we hear you calling us.

We want to leave our boats
and drop our nets.
Help us let
go.
