A gospel in blank verse with rhymed parables<br />
But I’m not here to judge: I’ve come to save<br />
and what I speak is not from me, it is<br />
the message from my Father I pass on.’<br />
The Parable of the Lost Silver Coin<br />
Perhaps I miscounted<br />
There should be ten<br />
There seems only nine here.<br />
Let’s count again.<br />
Could I have dropped it<br />
Inside a shoe?<br />
Surely I’d see it<br />
It’s shiny and new.<br />
Under the carpet?<br />
Down by the bed?<br />
A crack in the floorboard?<br />
Best mind how I tread.<br />
I’ve looked in the larder<br />
I’ve brushed down the stairs<br />
I’ve checked all my pockets<br />
I’ve moved all the chairs.<br />
Oh! The clouds are fast thickening<br />
Here comes the night<br />
This is ridiculous<br />
I need a light. (Ah! Better!)<br />
The box with the trinkets<br />
The box with my beads<br />
Under the pillow<br />
Heavens! None of this leads<br />
Anywhere!! Just a moment<br />
What’s this?<br />
Under a flower pot!<br />
Why! There it is!<br />
I’m so pleased to see it<br />
Would you believe?<br />
It’s worth all the other ones...<br />
The one you retrieve.<br />
