Sonnet

He drew up a marriage contract.
According to the law of Moses.
In marriage there is no certain fact.
Everything can get up our noses.

The only rule is compassion.
For those married and divorced.
All have a place in his mansion.
Nothing should be forced.

Communion should be for everyone.
Whatever their history or sexuality.
No one should have to be alone.
Love is the only reality.

Let us worry less about law.
And more about holding God in awe.

Haiku

Don’t worry with laws
Love everyone the same
Give the same to all
