A Poem On a Story From Bible 2

This Poem is dedicated to all my Christian friends on Poetry Soup and else where in the world in the festival month of Xmas. A Poem on a Story from Bible 2/2 Among them there was one Who was lying on floor He was sick for over thirty eight years And was trying to find A ray of hope to crawl somehow And reach near the holy pond But he could not dare to move Seeing the swelling crowd. 07 That man’s hopes were At the verge of diminishing His eyes had lost even the clarity of vision Then suddenly He heard those lofty words Coming from a dazzling source Who was standing right beside his head. 08 The old sick man looked Towards the direction of that voice But found only a dazzling face and Pool of light Which was trying to say these words to him. 09 Jesus asked that poor sick man “Do you want to get well?” That old sick man replied “Sir, I cannot even move on my own, And there is no one to help me To get in that holy water” 10 Jesus said to him, “Don’t worry, you will reach there, to have a dip in the pond. Just get up, pick up your mat, and walk." The man stood up and started walking And reached the pond But suddenly he realized And found as if He was never sick at all. 11 Ravindra Kanpur India -9th November 2012
