We forget, in our reverence
the roles of the apostles, the saints
We forget Jesus the carpenter,
Peter the fisherman,
Paul the tent maker,
the many shepherds,
the men of the land
so many of the patriarchs
We, no matter what our work,
are worthy, part of the body,
as they each are, in our time
every role is useful
to the kingdom,
the work of the church
