Gethsemane and
Sleeping in Church



    1
    Sleeping in Church
    I am ashamed to say
    is not new
    I do it often
    I went to sleep
    in church again
    but today's guilt
    was not all pain.

    2
    Yes guilt was there.
    after a novel's* read
    I see it differently
    I felt Christ's love
    a look at a weak sinner
    asleep as he suffered
    rebuked me
    loved me
    in spite of human failing;
    then returned to
    suffering for us

3
Gethsemane;
The read.
Abinadi's words*,
the lesson.
Both fit
my delemma

4
His suffering
just for a moment
had me
become Peter
who, guess what
was asleep


5
He was suffering
for human frailties,
so he naturally
felt my sleeping
as an example
even in his
closest friends
of what he
was suffering for.
A novel of Christ
has given me
new insite.
