Pebble Debts

Poetry Monday

Feeling a bit pensive today,  being away from family and having time to ponder...


Yes, I stood there with the crowd,

And yes, I joined their actions,

But mine were not as bad as theirs

They were but just a fraction!


I did not throw the biggest stone,

When stones were being tossed.

T'was not my stone that caused most pain, 

Could I, like them, be lost?


The rocks they threw were great, and were

With great precision met,

Mine was just a pebble, true,

Should I receive their debt?


Theirs, they cast with all their might,

Mine, with little force.

If greater strength means greater wrong,

Am I truly on their course?


When sins are being weighed at last

And punishments are laid,

Will the Lord request a smaller due

When my 'pebble' debt is paid?


Zip over to Delores at Mumblings

And

Jenny at The Procrastinating Donkey 

And see what their Monday is like!


Me, I'm still rambling with my Husby and our friends. In the South of France now and heading toward Switzerland. Loving this!
