The Weaker Vessel

by Sheila Dougal  
1/27/2007 / Poetry


A weaker vessel I am indeed
Fragile, and permeable to the Light in me
I am fine and thin on the exterior
Light and oil are the interior

Many hear "the weaker vessel"
And like a myth they dispel
"I'm strong, I'm tough, I can do enough!"
You may defend not knowing it's a bluff

For the One who made you knows your strength
It's not to be thick and impermeable as you think
Rather to be the fine vessel of art
Created perfectly by the Master to display His heart

It's in weak, fragile, breakable vessels
His fragrance, strength greater than muscle
Is released the simple to invite
"Come close, understand by the Light."

And in the vessel fine as it may be
An incredible power is displayed, all may see
The voice of a woman loved by the King
Invites more alluringly

Her vessel is weak, easy to crush
Yet through her the strongest man may be turned to mush
She is the fine vessel of art who stands
A pillar beautifully carved to lift up a man
Supporting the roof, crudely crafted to cover
This fine pillar of art's strength is discovered

The crown of man's glory
The weight of his strength
Is wrapped in the weaker vessel
God's art for all to see
He is the King over all
Yet the fragile Bride of His love
Is crowned with the strength of His call
