Lazarus (a poem)

weeping,
sad faces and sisters crying,
what a bitter-sweet feeling,
our brother is dead,
but Jesus just walked in.

patience,
“it’s been four days Lord,
and our brother is now stinking,
but your word is life,
it’s in your word we believe in.”

come out!
our good Lord started shouting,
calling the dead back to life,
calling our brother from the cave into light,
Lazarus is not dead,
Lazarus was just sleeping.
