A Disciple, but
Seldom reads
The Bible daily
For his spiritual needs
A Disciple, but
She doesn’t give
Her time or money
To help others live
A Disciple, but
Not always there
When the body meets
There’s an empty chair
A Disciple, but
She won’t volunteer
Although the needs
Are very clear
A Disciple, but
Unavailable
When there’s a study
His schedule is full
A Disciple, but
She seeks a mate
Goes outside the church
To find a date
A Disciple, but
He’s an introvert
With no desire
To help convert
A Disciple, but
With racist views
Separate but equal
Don’t mix the hues
A Disciple, but
Needs no Discipler
No one can offer
Any insight to her
A Disciple, but
Challenges exist
Do you see yourself
In this poetic list
We all need help
The question is…with what
So we all qualify
As a Disciple, but…
