making space – a poem

Jesus calls us sweetly, ‘dear’
beckons us to come, draw near.

Busy stirrings guide our day,
distracting us along our way.

Still he calls us to abide,
“Come and sit, let’s watch the tide.”

Many voices vye for place,
Jesus asks, “Will you make space?”

Will you harken to his voice?
Will you, will you?
It’s your choice.
