Poem 3: O Gideon

O Gideon

You doubted?
You questioned?
Confirmation you needed?

No more doubting.
No more questioning, 
For confirmed you were.

Wet fleece.
Dry fleece.
No dew.
Much dew.

Tell us: how many does one need?
12,000?
Drinkers?
Lappers?
Just 300.  
All chosen.

Conquerers.
Achievers.
Winners.
Leaders.
Doers.
His.

Tell us: how many does one need?
Too many wives.
70 sons.

Tell us:  how many did the one decide?
69 gone.
One survived.

While listening and following the leading of The One,
Gideon gained.
When no longer asking for guidance,
Gideon grappled.

Lesson read.
Lesson reminded.
Lesson realized.

O Gideon, from you so much to learn.
