The Soul-ox
The soul-ox was a stubborn being Blisters appeared on a hardened yoke Heavy burdens trailed year after painful year Ignoring the Master’s call, blindly struggling along Blisters popped, oozing soul-ox’s stop Worn and useless, longing for restful peace Remembrance fetches his spirit to leap The Master’s call was easy and light The soul-ox relaxed and gave up his fight Grass became tastier bite after greener bite
Matthew 11:29-30 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; For I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye Shall find rest unto your souls.
For my yoke is easy, and my burden light.
