Limerick

In the wild, a voice cried out clear,
To the crowds who had gathered near.
“Repent and be wise,
With fruits that arise,
For the kingdom of God is quite near!”

They came seeking wisdom and grace,
As the preacher laid bare every face.
“Don’t boast of your kin,
True change starts within,
Let love guide your heart’s rightful place!”

He spoke of a fire to ignite,
And a path that would lead to the light.
With hope in their hearts,
They all played their parts,
In a journey that felt truly right!
