Saved in Sidon

11-21-02





I've heard of many miracles



I'm not sure that I believed them



But then again



Hope is better than nothing at all



It's much better than anything



Maybe I had to believe in something



That is



And when I heard of Jesus



I just couldn't resist



I had to have faith



Faith in something



Instead of nothing at all



So I approached him



I needed help



Why not admit it now



And was reassured



He was the one



I let him know



Of my conditions



Or more so of my daughters



And so I beg him



The son of David



His disciples shew me away



And I'm unmoved



But he says no



I can't accept that answer



I let him know that



But he insults me



I come crawling back for more



I love my daughter



And I think of that



As I agree with him



But then he smiles



And she is healed

Author's Notes/Comments: 

IMPORTANT: Biblical, If you don't read the Bibleyou will probable not understand this. It is from the Parable of the Gentile
Woman and her daughter. I did it for a Bible homework. I find
this very touching, I hope you do too.

I see I have visited this poem before, and the second reading makes it even more splendid. I wish you would do an extended sequence, exactly like this. You have the ability to "get into" the character's mind and represent, in contemporary terms, the experience from an ancient event that is, spiritually, timeless. I congratulate you on the achievement in this poem, and I urge you to consider my suggestion . . . please . . .

This is a magnificent poem on a great theme, and I applaud you for being able to enter into the spirit of the event as you have.
