Notes About The Poem

Head To Head

HEAD TO HEAD

tête-à-tête, Rita and I
two heads are better than one
in praise’n prayer
melodic lips of kin
our moms in heaven
lift
their lullaby assist
our hopes in cradled arms

we worship in different sects
but today we’re linked—
part of the extended army
no chinks in God’s armor

my people pray
carry me on my way
no demonic-dinosaur
no rattling dragon
nor human-pittance
comes in our way

they’d be destroyed
with just one thought
of hate
we love—
one heart, one Lord,
our neighbors

our differences deposited at the door
we share a smile
our gospel feet
smell rather sweet

The power of praying is intensely increased in a gathering of two persons or more. Such a wonderful poem of faith. Blessings and hugs Kim, Jennifer.

Hi Kim, your poem is Lovely and inspirational. When we pray together as one in spirit, Heaven comes down. I love that prayer experience... Jesus has said when two or three together in my name ask something, I will let them have.

Prayer and praise bond sisters and brothers in Christ together. Will be interesting to be shown in our heavenly home what our prayers did. Brighter and more outspread than electricity that can light up the world. :)
