Notes About The Poem

Only the Holy

This poem was inspired by Gershon Wolf’s poem
If God is Holy, then What of Me.
Only the Holy
Only the Holy speak to God on High
Only the Holy seek the reason why 
He knows every heartache we each plod through 
In prayer God will wing solace to you.

Only the Holy bestow peace on earth,
Only the Holy share their love with mirth
Singing songs of thankfulness joy and praise
For the glorious world our dear Lord gave.

Only the Holy conceive how faith feels
Only the Holy perceive that faith heals
Vanishing sorrows that disturb one’s heart 
They are gone forever, afar apart.

Only the Holy head toward the light
Only the Holy with faith shining bright
Their compassionate pure hearts tell us so
Sharing the news in tales of long ago.

Only the Holy follow God's footprints 
Only the Holy are freed from all sin
They feel the pain of our Lord's sacrifice
That gifts close of life flights to paradise.

Only the Holy learn what God can do
Only the Holy construct a breakthrough 
Righteousness leads to heaven’s gates
Where the Lord meets and greets us face to face..

Gershon Wolf April 28, 2023 at 12:54 PM This is lovely, Belle! ... And I don't know if you remember a 'pop' song called 'Only the Lonely.' It was a big hit in its day, 1960, although it hung around for years. Roy Orbison recorded it. At any rate: Your poem is so much better!!! So positive and inspirational, unlike the alienation and negativity which has infected American pop music for so many decades now. So, THANKS!! Beryl Edmonds April 28, 2023 at 1:12 PM Thank you for the inspiration Gershon. I was a fan of Roy Orbison and love that song “Only the Lonely.” I saw him live in Birmingham my home town many years ago. Blessings, Belle
