Lisle Ryder Poet Limerick

Now Able To See

As Jesus to Jericho drew near
a blind man called out in great fear
   “Have pity on me,
   I'm unable to see!”
Crowds in front shut him up with a jeer.

Bartimaeus called out all the more
“Son of David to you I implore...”
   “What is it for you,
   you want me to do?”
“I want back my sight like 'twas before.”

Said Jesus, “Your sight right now I restore,
for calling in faith has healed you for sure.”
   Now able to see
   he stepped out with esprit
following Jesus and praising the Lord.

Mark 10.46-52
