To eat some animals was right.
From some others they should abstain,
His instructions were very plain.
That some are clean and some are not,
Through the years this lesson was taught.
The animals that they could eat,
A parted hoof or cloven feet,
Also one that the cud did chew.
Pigs were ones that just would not do.
Consider the Prodigal Son
Down to feeding pigs, after fun.
Then finally he realized
His father’s love was a great prize.
From the country of the Gerasenes
Came a man with spirits unclean.
He begged Jesus to cast them out.
They begged Jesus to be cast into swine
Which to the sea made a beeline.
You might even say those pigs flew
They didn't know what else to do.
Remember Peter and his dream.
Some unclean animals it seems.
Three times he was told, kill and eat,
Animals he saw on a sheet.
Maybe Peter thought, when pigs fly.
He obeyed without asking why.

Loved the closing message.
God bless~
I also like the last part about listening to God. We should always be doing this through the word and also listening to His Holy Spirit he gives us when we are baptized.
I like it.
