The Beatitude Poem

When Jesus saw the multitudes 
he went up on the hill
taught them with encouraging words
with authority, compassion, Zeal

He spoke of the keys of his Kingdom
never heard by them before
"Blessed are the poor in spirit”,
After which, he said much more

He said that you’d be Blessed 
for these ways that you should live 
Then he said rejoice, be glad 
what great a reward He’ll give

Let your light so shine before men 
your good works to be seen 
glorify your father in heav’n 
for the kingdom is within

Many things that he did say 
for he covered many topics 
Many left in wonderment 
astonished at his doctrine

The Secrets he so freely gave 
that day upon the hill 
keys of his kingdom, 
to keep in your heart
by faith to do God’s will

Love, Compassion, Faith in God
were three he taught that day
Eternal treasures to be stored for now
Until our judgement day

Nicely written, accurate, not really my cup of tea.
