The Religious Teacher Poem by AHO Speaks

The Religious Teacher

Who speaks for the troubled person of today
How to get in touch with God and have their say.

Not the contents of their voice
Rather a way to relate for support of a choice.

As a child teach as a child or even more
Give what they need as an adult to open the door.

A teacher has a responsibility to lead the way
Not just to repeat what someone else did say.

To know how to establish a relationship with God
It does little good to find out; when we finally lie in the sod.

To know about the fruit of a vine
The plain facts about the image of bread and wine.

About others who spoke of truth and love
Did they also have a similar spirtual dove?

How to live a life to please God and reflect
God has no favor for a given human sect.

Place the presence of God in their mind
Show it is not difficult their God to find.
