Honoring Harry

Jesus Christ

Life ground to a halt 
living down a dead end street 
where there's no sunlight 
and shadows of doubt linger... 
Till your love blew them away.

this Tanka poem of Harry
is a blessing to me…
since it speaks of the Saviour I live for
stated succinctly in Horsman’s style
reverberating with his wit, wisdom, and winning words
I can still “hear” like his comment on my 
very first posted PS poem:
“Your poetry Shouts. ... loud and clear.
 Just visiting your first on soup...love it.”
