Joy

Long Ago,

A seed fell to the earth in the body of a Woman.
Long ago a mustard seed fell to the earth in the body of a Woman.
He was Mercury and Zeus he was Aphrodite and Venus,
And he was the real thing!!
I mean the real thing!
Like coca-cola but better!
And I looked into the face of the seed at one of his worst moments,
And I saw the face of Grace for the first and last time in a life time.
And I looked into the face of the seed at one of his worst moments,
And I saw the face of Grace for the first and last time in a lifetime.
And he took my life and showed me sorrow.
And he took my life and showed me joy.
But now, I tell you, he is showing me peace!  For the root of offence within me is 
no more!
Amen.
