The Other Cheek

It’s only make believe, I know But in my fondest dream I go To some resplendent mountain peak To gain the precedent I seek Whereby the wisdom of the Son Who meekly died for everyone Is turn the other cheek. For the "It's Only Make Believe" poetry contest. Sponsored by: Regina Riddle Deadline: July 16, 2020

Yours is so completely humble compared to the fairy tale one I wrote, Bryan. I love the simplicity of this one.
