St Matthew

He said to him , Follow me.
And he got up and followed him.
We have no place to flee.
Is it meant for us,  this hymn.

In Caravaggio’s painting.
We just see Christ’s hand and fingers.
To whom is it pointing.
Is it in our direction that it lingers.

Am I the old man looking away.
Which character do we represent.
What would do , we cannot say.
For whom is this call meant.

And he got up and followed.
Meanwhile, they will say of us,  we just wallowed.

……

To whom does it point
There are a few in the room
Is it meant for us

See Matthew 9: 9-13
