Spiritual Mentor

I read and study my father-in law's old Bible

Tattered, written in , highlighted, never left idle

Each time I pick it up, I think of this spiritual man

He's smiling when I read from it as often as I can

Scraps of paper, handwritten notes Unknowingly left for others to read A wonderful find when I opened the book There left with purpose to be read by me A divine plan, revealed at a later date Thanks for the comments Allen
