Yes Please (saga of salvation)
Douglas Blair 1951 (London)
Dream-like
That day of talking
Of exchange most rare.
Waiting for a cab
In the foyer.
I struck up
An episode with
A man I did not know.
His eyes unwavering.
His voice suggested authority.
His use of Jesus’ Name
Un-hesitating.
Oh, I had tried church.
Started the Book several
Times at Genesis.
Felt it was not for me.
Too much to let go.
But now he was saying
Something of an upheaval.
Totally new mainspring.
New Beginning
And friendship with
The Christ, the Anointed One.
True Son of God
Alive forever more.
Might I pray with him?
Oh yes please.
That was my part…
Yes, please.
Then thank you.
