The Gifts of Easter

I’ve watched the path of Christian Leeds, whose feet rejected trails of woe where loving heart now prays to go. His eyes look ‘round to meet the need. This Christian offers help, routine and censure-free. One who was born in places known for clever scorn of those who claim - God can be seen. Leeds fires a stroke of genius, clear - with bags stocked well with food and clothes and toys to boot for young kiddoes. I’ve heard them ask, “Is Jesus, here?" On faces knowing emptiness, the food replaces hunger's stare; toys and clothes fit a heart that's bare with help and hope and happiness. written for Debbie Guzzi's contest, Jesus and Mary for Easter entered in Giorgio Venuto's contest, Become a Fictitious Character... Christian Leeds, fictitious character from the book of James (Bible) Chapter 2. Reason A. Poteet
