PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Apostle Saint Matthew's Gospel tells us what Jesus said,

about a mere five loaves of the local bread;

and, drawn from the lake's shallow, two small fishes;

and He gave command, Bring them hither to me.

Now those, I suggest, function as a metaphor or simile

(in this world that denies both with relentless steadiness):

representing my hopes, aspirations and wishes

that I might bring them before His throne without dread,

without fear, and without any awkward hesitation.

I have already received Christ's gracious invitation

to come unto Him to find the assurance of salvation.

Now, though my life is a wreck, the Scriptures lead 

my soul to His throne, to Grace to help in time of need---

Grace to help, Christ's compassion---is always ready.
