APPENDIX

     

Consider the appendix -

not an attractive thing.

Without known function

it just sits there

absorbing life

without working to sustain it.

It’s only claim to fame

is that it can rupture

- threatening the health of the body.

Thank you, Lord,

that in the body of Christ,

your church,

there is no appendix.

Help me, Lord,

not to act like one.
