(This was an exercise we did during a book discussion group that looked at the person of Jesus and our experience of him in history and in our lives today. The following is an "alpha-poem". You will note that each line begins with a letter that spells out the title.
Walking in the midst of us
Holding each person with care, gently
Out of love and with compassion.
Dancing, laughing, singing
Out loud and loudly.
You lived fully, truly and with vigour. You
Organized disorganized hopefuls,
Understood those misunderstood,
Stood
And waited for those who needed time. Yet
You also pushed
Those who refused to move;
Hated that which betrayed love.
All the world belonged
To God
In your eyes,
And you lived and died reaching out to
Meet that world waiting for your embrace.
