The Fool
Twas then that I began
To play the fool
For all reason was abandoned
Good and Evil were embraced
So answer not the fool
Lest thou be just like him
For folly has an end
As the darkness yields to dawn
The sun will rise
The seeds will grow
We’ll reap a mighty harvest
Then we will be moving on
A fool to be a pilgrim?
You’re a fool to chase the wind.
For a Prince, it’s unbecoming
And your foolishness is sin.
So answer not the fool
Lest thou be just like him
For folly has an end
As the darkness yields to dawn
The sun will rise
The seeds will grow
We’ll reap a mighty harvest
Then we will be moving on
I will play the fool tomorrow
And again in days to come
I’m The Fool - you can’t ignore me
With all I’ve said and done
So answer not the fool
Lest thou be just like him
For folly has an end
As the darkness yields to dawn
The sun will rise
The seeds will grow
We’ll reap a mighty harvest
Then we will be moving on.

In case you didn’t notice - the world is full of people - and this is where we will be putting logs of our interactions with them.

Fool for Christ
Fool enough to follow
Fool enough to take a stand
Fool enough to speak up
Fool enough to ask
Fool enough to listen
Fool enough to trust His Word
Fool enough to to play the fool
For all the fools who won’t
Fool enough to see the foolishness
Of all the great accomplishments of men
To watch the river carry
All the memory of days and nights
Of toil and struggle
Anguish and conflict
All out war
And even the delight
Of the softest touch
And warm embrace
And kisses in the night
All foolishness and vanity
Destined to be weighed
And judged
The chaff to wind
The stubble, fire
The ashes and the dust
In rivulets to flow
Beneath the grass and weeds
And what remains and will endure?
The foolishness of Love.
