Notes About The Poem

The Bible Stories Are Real

Cain murdered Abel long ago
He couldn’t stop his jealous soul
From killing a brother who he should have loved
One who’s blood would call out from the earth

Noah built that ark for the world
To be able to live again after the flood
He built it to God’s specifications for his work
Giving room for his family and so many creatures

David killed Goliath with a stone
Never worried about dying at the giant’s sword
He was sure that God would make a stand
And give him the victory over this giant man

Esther, a Jew, was given to the King as a bride
She was filled with awe at the glorious state she found
But to save the Jews she would need to defy her King
And that she did only to discover it was always God’s will

Job lost everything, even his family and health
He wandered why his God was taking it all
Still he praised the One who made everything
And it was given back to him, even more than in the beginning

Daniel prayed to the Lord three times a day
Despite the king’s refusal to allow him to pray
He didn’t listen, but gave the Lord his every praise
In the lion’s den, he was not afraid and came out unscathed

John the Baptist went through the wilderness baptizing
He told his followers that they must repent of their sins
Soon it was the wonder of all, sweet Jesus, he baptized
And saw the dove come down with the Holy spirit on Him

Jesus came into out world as a sweet little baby
Born of a virgin and able to save all the nations
He went to the cross and gave us all second chances
To be saved and go to a place we call heaven

Throughout the Bible, there have been so many wonders
Lives that lived by faith brought endless adoration
To the One who’s grace is always upon us, loving us
And giving us the opportunity to begin a relationship with His Son

Paula Goldsmith October 29, 2019 at 3:29 PM You did a great job telling long stories in a few words. I also love the picture you added.........

Gershon Wolf October 27, 2019 at 10:52 PM All true, 100%... Not that it really matters, but (I imagine you are aware that) every archaeological discovery in Israel and Egypt over the past century or so has confirmed the Biblical accounts of what happened. Only occasionally are a few of them off by more than a year or two as well. And that is no doubt due to certain still-inaccurate scientific dating techniques. Need I mention that with me, you are 'preaching to the choir?' Powerfully penned, Regina! Warmest wishes, Gershon

Connie Marcum Wong October 27, 2019 at 9:54 PM You have managed to include several stories in rhyme Regina. The story that always got to me the most was about Job. I don't have a thimble of his endurance for pain I'm afraid. This tribute to the bible is beautiful Regina. xxoo
