Love Your Kin

Plain Secrets

A poem to my Amish friends
It's time for all to make amends
Let's bring one evil to its ends
Examine it under a lens

By shunning you do try to cleanse
And fight against the worldly trends
Such man-made rules one never bends
'Cause mercy is only for friends

Pocket Guide to Amish Life

How did the Canaanites once sin
They sacrificed their children in
The fire, much to God's great chagrin
Please stop this evil, love your kin

It is what the Ordnung contends
And their commandment it transcends
Just what the Bible recommends
To seek lost sheep to the world's ends

Growing up Amish

So such idolatry pretends
To be a rule that just defends
A culture, not what Christ intends
He said love all not just our friends

How did the Canaanites once sin
They sacrificed their children in
The fire, much to God's great chagrin
Please stop this evil, love your kin
