Three People

Three People

This is what he told me

I see three people

One young, one middling and the other old

All outspoken

Three Women

All different ages

But with one thing in common

Their faith

Three stages of faith

A new convert

One with 20 years gone

And one who never said

These three people, he said

All have faith

With two I can see it

But the other one hides it

They all act differently

One judges, causes pain and  manipulates

One sees the world as new

And the other is just holding on

Three people, one faith

Two show Jesus

While one hides him

When actually she really needs him

He said that this one

Would not entice him to faith

Because she is a hypocrite

And only thinks of herself

The other two show him love

They are transparent in their faith

You know where they stand

And where you stand with them

He said it’s better to be open

As closed people are false

And cause damage to those around them

While the others radiate love
