John Hardison Poet Narrative

Almost Christian

Almost Christian

The old famer came out of Church one Sunday
As he had done many, many times before.
This Sunday was not much different

After the service, he walked up to the minister
and said, I know Jesus has done for me more
than I could do for myself and others. 

But I also know most days I don’t really Love
Him. Maybe on some really good days I do. 
So, I am at best Almost Christian.

The preacher thought a moment and said,
When you make up to your wife are you then
only almost married.

The Old framers known not to smile. Smiled
Turned and walked away much happier
than ever before.
