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.. *+*+*+* 28th April 2023

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!!

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

Only the Holy realise faith feels Only the Holy perceive that faith heals Vanishing sorrows that disturb one’s heart They are gone forever, afar apart. Wonderful poem, Belle, full of insightful wisdom and great imagery. Enjoyed reading your poem.
