This is the first of the seven poems in my "Collection of Poems for the Body of Christ". I am a novice poet, so any suggestions would be appreciated.
The Head
Just like the human body,
Christ’s body has a goal
To keep itself complete and
Functioning as a whole.
Missing even one member,
It couldn’t operate
To work the way Jesus wills
Each must cooperate.
The arm works with the hand
To show someone affection
While foot works with leg
To go the right direction.
Someone there to shoulder the load
While others are on their knees
The heart beats for a dying world
Each seeks Christ, our Lord, to please.
But how can each member
Know they’re rightly led?
Why this is the assurance –
All obey the Head.
A body that is without a head
Is just an empty shell
Only when connected to our Lord
Can we do all things well.
