Notes About The Poem

This poem is included in my omnibus anthology 'Butterfly Mind' (2025) as well as being first published in volume four of my poetry: 'Author Unknown' (1993-1024).
(10/2024) See Matthew 2:13 - 15; John 19:17; 10:30; 14:6 - 9; Hebrews 1:2 - 3; Isaiah 9:6; Titus 2:13.

THE GREATEST EVENT

See the tent in Egypt and the refugees -
the carpenter, his wife and his son -
gathered in a peaceful moment,
though hunted and on the run.

A joyful scene one evening:
held up by the man’s gentle hands,
the toddler took his first stand
on the soil of the slave-maker’s lands.

One small step for a human,
more profound than Armstrong’s deed.
A giant leap for all mankind
made to fulfil our greatest need.

For that boy just kept on walking
all the way to the cross and His doom.
So much greater that God stepped on earth
than ever man walked on the moon.
