Due to the fact that this particular topic truly sparked something in me and the fac that the site has reached 100 topics (another milestone!), I would like you all to read this poem that I am writing even now…I call it
“An Odd Looking Tree”
My dear, look at this!
Quite a site I should see!
Come gather and look
at this odd looking tree…
See, it has no bark
There’s no roots and no stems
There’s no sign of a lark
or a wren in the limbs.
I can see no real leaves
there’s no branches to see
just a straight up and down
to this odd looking tree.
Wait…I suppose,
If your imagination’s big,
You can see two straight branches
come out of this twig.
What a pity it is!
what a sad thing to see!
Someone has marred
this unusual tree!
See, here, they drove nails
There’s a one, two…no, three
three nails in the body
of this odd looking tree.
What strange stuff is this?
What color this mud?
This tree grows not in water…
It’s bathed in red blood
And folks cry all around
they think it is sad
apparently this deed
must be terribly bad.
But wait…are those trumpets?
Are those ANGELS I see?
They’re shining their light
on this odd looking tree!
And they’re saying to me
as I stand by its root
“You’d understand this tree
if you ate of its fruit
If you knew of our Master
you’d certainly see
that this is a cross,
not some odd looking tree.
Where the Master will take you
there will never be strife.
Just eat from this tree…
This Great Tree of Life!”
The angels ascended
and left me to think
of this wonderful vision
that left in a blink.
I will take the fruit!
Eternal life, live in me!
I shall praise the Great God
for this beautiful tree!
Jesus, my Jesus
Mankind’s loving lamb
The Lord of the Angels
The Son of “I Am!”
Please let me tell tales
of your love that I see…
Let me share the fruit
Of this odd looking tree.
Thank you, Beaver, for inspiration. We’re at 100…let’s go for ten fold!
FOR ALL YOU READERS! POST POST POST!
