Dear Puppet

Don't concern yourself with the puppeteer, Dear

Untangle the strings of the puppet and be free

For ultimately you will see Pinocchio's body

Is crafted from the wood of our Savior's tree

Don't concern yourself with their opinions, Dear

Close your eyes and ears to their taunts

For ultimately you will see that your body

Leads to Heaven when you follow its wants.

And when you throw away the script you've been given

The audience may boo and hiss at your show

Remember, Dear, the ones who berate you

Find joy when the puppet's nose grows.

If you remember anything, may it be this, Dear

A path has been hewn for your success

You may follow it or take on the challenge

Create a new path for those who are weary and crave rest.

Thank you dear Jesus for coming

Thank you for sowing the seeds of renewal

Thank you for carving a new way

Your body and blood are humanity's sacred fuel.
