Poem Title:
Poem
He knew who he was,and what he was He was aware of his sins more than most But this man can heal, they said So he humbled himself, and left his post ....for a moment with LOVE She knew the laws concerning women Her blood flowed daily for twelve years If they saw her, she would die But hope compelled her to silence her fears ....and reach for LOVE's garment She heard her daughter in the wee hours Cry out in torment, from voices in her head She knew that she was not a member of the house But she would try, even if He said... .....NO! He said, it's not good to give the children's food to dogs Demons are pressing my daughter I must press in, past all pain and sorrow I may be a gentile But LOVE might make me His daughter ....yes, but even the dogs eat the crumbs from under the children's table Humility moved LOVE to compassion Humility took LOVE to a woman at a well Where Love saw her rise and fail Five husbands, and dingy veil Only LOVE can bridge the gaps Between rank, position, and purpose When life fails humanity and we can;t see That LOVE is proof that our God has heard us ....and given us assurance that there are NO outcasts in the Kingdom of LOVE.
