Poem
JESUS by Joan May Donnelly Ellis Jesus, You are the Brightest Light of Love A hearth fire ablaze on Christmas Eve A child's uncommanded hug The flicker from a candle's flame A Hand whose touch leaves a glow The whisper of a lip's caress The shower of an autumn snow Jesus You are the manifestation of my praise A military stride illuminated by grace The reception of delight when pure humor releases all care You are the warmth of an appreciative look As You muse from your rocking chair Jesus, You are a revelation spilling forth and pouring Light into my soul as I meditate on You You are fresh, You are clean, a poet's dream come true Jesus, You are as welcome as a mountain stream I surrender myself to after a hot Summer day of toil in my garden Jesus, You are regular visits to Adventure Land A glove, snow white shifting silken sands You are a boy running 20 miles to be with the girl he loves. Jesus, You are a head sinking in a bale of new-mown hay The healing power of a Palm Tree's sway And Jesus, You motivate every good that I do. Jesus, You are the juice from a blade of Kentucky Blue The tremor following a California Quake too And Jesus, You've got what it takes to cause the Universe to fall in love with You. Jesus, You're the dawning of a Carolina moon The Decider who dines with silver spoon You're the Yellow Rose of Texas in full bloom The revival of Pentecost. Jesus, You are a Prince in housecoat and slippers on a front porch swing A LOVE for better or worse that clings You're the Composer of songs Your Angel's sing. Jesus, You are brevity An embrace that lingers long after You go. Jesus, You are the One who never laughed When the child's love letter was mocked by the elite class. And Jesus, You make bearable the insults one suffers through Forgiveness granted for the incomplete, inaccurate view You're the only One worthy & the only One true Potter me in word & deed more like You.
