The Carpenter's Job

Building projects with his hands,

He may have made chairs, tables and stands.

Working diligently, piece by piece,

Until the job was complete.

 

The job of a carpenter is to mold and shape,

To design in a perfect way.

Taking precision and time

To get it just right.

 

The attention he must have paid,

The skill he so engraved.

Working with all his might,

He had something in his sight.

 

Taking it as his own

Until his will had unfold,

He mastered the plan

From the blueprint’s command.

 

Working from morning to night,

He did his service just and right.

Yet, it wasn’t in carpentry details…

However, He did need wood and nails.

 

For what He was sent to do

Was the most greatest of truths.

As for Jesus, the Carpenter’s job

Was in building the Kingdom of God.

Powerful and true words.
"For what He was sent to do
Was the most greatest of truths.
As for Jesus, the Carpenter’s job
Was in building the Kingdom of God."
If we lived by the kindness, concern and love Jesus taught. This could be a proper place to live. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

I design and build furniture and other woodworking projects... though nothing as grand as the Kingdom of God... so I can relate to this one very well. I like how you build toward your the revelation of the ultimate Carpenter in the last two lines and the foreshadowing in the line " ...He did need wood and nails." Nice work!

carpenters build more than just things...they build relationships, they built goodwill and faith among men.

nice allegory here, with double meaning...
