Trudy Schrader Poet Rhyme

Love's Outcasts

He knew who he was,and what he was
He was aware of his sins more than most
But this man can heal, they said
So he humbled himself, and left his post
....for a moment with LOVE

She knew the laws concerning women
Her blood flowed daily for twelve years
If they saw her, she would die
But hope compelled her to silence her fears
....and reach for LOVE's garment

She heard her daughter in the wee hours
Cry out in torment, from voices in her head
She knew that she was not a member of the house
But she would try, even if He said...

.....NO!

He said, it's not good to give the children's food to dogs

Demons are pressing my daughter
I must press in, past all pain and sorrow
I may be a gentile
But LOVE might make me His daughter

....yes, but even the dogs eat the crumbs from under the children's table

Humility moved LOVE to compassion
Humility took LOVE to a woman at a well
Where Love saw her rise and fail
Five husbands, and dingy veil

Only LOVE can bridge the gaps
Between rank, position, and purpose
When life fails humanity and we can;t see
That LOVE is proof that our God has heard us

....and given us assurance that there are NO outcasts in the Kingdom of LOVE.
