Abraham

Abraham Abraham
from where did you come
what made you Gods favorite
why were you like a son

was it because of special care
that you gave to his name
while others made up other god's
you worshiped the only real one

with in your heart you held a secret
and it could not be made with hands
he saw the love and mercy
that was given to the man

so to him God told his secrets
and planted His great seed
He made him important promises
that mankind will one day need

and so begins the story of a family
and begins a story of one who'll die for me
take the time to listen and put the puzzle together
tell the story to your family and things will be much better

Yes, John, this has a special appeal to me and I wish you success in the contest! The poem I wrote for you last December did well in a recent contest. You probably didn't see it, but it was a contest about "the sweetest" thing that anyone has ever done for you. Love, Carolyn
