Gershon Wolf Poet Free verse

A Faith Like No Other

  
       Abraham passed tests
       abounding in contradiction

          Feeding angels, who don’t eat *
          Pleading for Sodom, whose fate had been sealed **
          Preparing to slay his beloved son Isaac, at God’s command *** 

       His Faith in God Avraham proved ~
       The course of human history he moved
