Still Untouchable. Grace Nearby.



This Jesus You  Mentioned


oh I gave the Book a whirl
night-times read it to my girl
stories telling how that rabbi
taught so well and healed.
quite a chap, no doubt of that.
his example got down pat
but his Lordship?
that's the part that
I can't feel.
born again, friends use that term.
but it usually makes me squirm
change the topic, do a chore
or cut things short.
a big leap, fanatic-like
maybe later Bud, all right?
nothing here of the religious sort.

About this poem

How sad that some people are never touched by the overtures of the Holy Ghost. Touched with the message of Grace by Jesus’ finished work.
