I dressed differently today
Wanting to dress in a different way
these are the garments I put on today….
Using Compassion as my underdress
I followed with Kindness and Gentleness.
Then Humility and Patience like a glove
and on top I placed a garment of Love.
It made such a difference to my day
and to the people I met on the way.
About this poem
written after reading Colossians 3:12-14 Clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. 13 Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. 14 And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.
