Beata Agustin Poet Limerick

ABRAHAM AND MOSES

Abraham* is father of faith indeed
He obeyed God along His deed and creed
Commended and blest
Midst challenging test
So from unbelief and doubt, he was freed.

Abraham’s great grandson, Moses** did stand
Leading God’s people to the promised land
With courageous might
And prayerful plight
Sea he divided toward march so grand.

*Romans 4:9-11 ...For we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness... that he might be the father of all them that believe...
**Hebrews 11:24-29 By faith Moses, ....; Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; ... 
passed through the Red sea as by dry land...

Andrea Dietrich August 31, 2024 at 2:22 PM You know your biblical figures so well, Beata. I am not totally sure, but I think your syllables need to be consistent. Good luck if this is for the current limerick challenge.
