Demetrios Trifiatis Poet Free verse

Notes About The Poem

" HEAVENLY KINGDOM " MY PHOTO, ©

The Kingdom Within Viii

You, my friend, 
Are not a king or a prince, 
Neither are you a nobleman  
Of 
A higher or lower rank. 
You are just another poor man like me:
A citizen of perpetual want,
Yet
You carry within your heart a kingdom, 
A kingdom, you very well could inherit 
With God's grace,
If only,
Lord's divine Word, you choose to
Listen to, and follow virtue's path that  
He indicates!*
