Today’s word is “epiphonema” ... ep-uh-foh-nee-muh ... a sentence that is an exclamation, a general or striking comment, or a succinct summary of what has previously been said. (Dictionary.com)
At the very end,
of parables and fables,
Lies the epiphonema,
to apply, if you are able.
The Father welcomes back his son,
with love, and robes and rings,
To show how God will do the same,
When his children to him cling.
Between the turtle and the hare,
was an unlikely race,
The turtle did win finally,
steadiness his saving grace.
When Kipling’s little elephant,
finally his trunk did find,
It was because his enemy,
helped it to unwind.
So many lessons to absorb,
so many applications,
If we’d learn from a few of them,
we might lessen our frustrations.
