Twelve and Two

21 June 2006


Eleven and eleven
make twelve
While in Christ
there was always more
This number, that account
a Saviour in hope of adore

Ten and one, or the figure of twenty two
There was hope, there was love
and in the centre a sparkle of you

Going forth, in having faith
reaching out to touch his wounds
Knowing reality, enduring on
This future, another day
yesterday passing over
bearing fruit and then gone

A good tree, this seed so small
one and one, six and eight
No hunger too solemn to steal
Sure it was true, and hers to proclaim
as in her heart, she did know
her undoubted testimony, Christ was real


“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only
begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him
should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
John 3: 16 KJV

Christopher,

Your poem inspired in me many spiritual messages;

To touch the wounds of Jesus would be such an awesome experience, but then again, how blessed are we who have not seen and yet still we believe? If we have faith and not doubt that we can (we can) move mountains.

Just to mention a couple.


Thank you for sharing and God bless.

-Bob
