See, my clothes are old and tattered And no soles have known these feet And my soul is bruised and battered All I've ever known's defeat. And I've always been the black-sheep True and yet I don't know why And my heart lives on the ash heap No, it never learned to fly. Yes, I've always been the odd one Never seeming to fit in All I've ever known's rejection Sore dejection deep within. I am but a lowly beggar No, there's nothing that I own I've got not a thing to offer As I stand before Your throne. "Enter now into My mansion All I have is yours and free No, you don't need class or fortune You're the perfect one for me. It's but beggars that can hear Me For though all may come within None but beggars know they need Me It's but beggars enter in. Enter now unto My banquet Yes, I know you'll fit right in And the tables have been all set For the feasting to begin. See, you don't need class or fortune When you come don't bring a thing Enter all into My mansion Come and dine beside your King." 3/99 ------------------ Denise |

Denise, You've really done it this time-the rhyme, the meter, the message, the flow--you got it all right--it's a wonderful & inspiring read. ------------------ "Our Creativity points to a Higher Creator--we couldn't have just happened, and for what ability we may possess--to God be the glory." -dlw- |

Denise...I started reading and wanted to cry then my spirits were lifted when you so wonderfully put how Jesus loves all all, no matter what we have gone through, look like, etc. We dont need to have all the class and fortune as you said to enter Heaven's Gates...all we must do is love and believe in Jesus Christ. We can have all the money on earth and still not be happy if we do not know Jesus Christ...and even so when we die, we can not bring that fortune with us to Heaven anyways! This is a great poem and it definitely did flow nicely as well! Grat job! ------------------ ~*~ Time erases and rewrites all the lines. What remains is the poetry! ~*~ |

dsnyder - great poem, though I have to say that the third stanza didn't quite click. perhaps the meter is off or something. not sure. |

Thanks, James, I'm glad you liked it! I don't know either, I can't always hear the meter. It's seems to flow like the rest to me! But I'll keep going over it to see if I can figure it out! ------------------ Denise |
