Untitled Poem

Untitled 	

I saw my swarthy skin shine again a little bright
The rays of my imperfection covering my face like a veil
I saw my shadow multiply images of my existence
Thus my soul remembered the sound of my heart beat

I saw my swarthy skin shine again a little brighter
This time I new, a drop of Jesus’ blood was poured in my cane

amen, we are SO valuable in our Trinity's eyes. Why else would Father-God sacrifice His Son for us if we were not PRECIOUS, "my [our] imperfections" are but dust over a ART Materpiece, once His blood gives the ART its lustre again. shalom, DEO
