poem

God in heaven

holds

each person by

a string.

When you sin, you cut

the string.

        Then God ties

it up again,

making a knot –

and thereby bringing

you

a little closer to Him.

Again

and

again

your sins cut the

string –

        and with each

further knot God

keeps drawing you

closer and

closer

and closer.
