I believe I was called to abandon my mere interest in writing Poetry to actually write Poetry, and rhymed poetry at that!, on Saturday, July 16th, 1994. I believe now, as I did then, that this call came from God; and that it was a directive not to be ignored. My first poem, after that incident, was this one; although the original draft is now lost, and this is the most complete reconstruction of it that I can recompose.
How hard must it have been for God to let his son do this task knowing the pain and suffering he would have to endure to fulfill his mission of bringing salvation to those who believe. What love for us, knowing how it was to end and not coming down and destroying the earth and all in it.
