POEM: A lament for those left

A lament for those left
(This lament will be quick because I can’t stay here.)
Well, they left—
Some had good reasons even
And it’s us that’s left
Part of me says forget those left
Part of me can’t
But which version of me’s what’s best?
And I’m,
left
Thinking about the body
and an arm walks off
I can’t, like, reach as far
And they do leave scars
but we can walk on
They left for good reasons I guess
We’re left for good reasons I guess
So let’s be the body that’s left
And bless the bodies that left
And be our best
Let me not be he to sort out
all the rest
And the good news is
there’s room that’s left
Nice new chairs, but we never forget the old,
do we?
Is the old what’s best?
Are we the old wine, really?
The good news is
the tomb’s empty and the pressure’s off
So the would-be tithers and could-be helpers
and mothers and fathers and sisters and brothers—
Go—
And as you go,
Remember Jesus loves you
And Renew loves you
And let’s each take a piece of what’s left
