Jesus Was A Poet

                                                          Jesus was a poet----
                                                          He spoke in signing words
                                                          Of gold, wheat and its sowing,
                                                          Of little feathered birds
                                                          He told of one repentant
                                                          Who had set himself to roam,
                                                          And many a pilgrim harking
                                                          Has wept and turned toward home.

                                                          He sing of vine and fig tree
                                                          Of water and of bread
                                                          Of sheep and a good shepherd
                                                          And every word he said
                                                          Is pregnant with deep meaning
                                                          To piece the listener through
                                                           Strong words that live forever
                                                           As great poetry should do.
                                                           And though no single stanza
                                                           Has balanced form or rhyme
                                                           Yet Jesus is the greatest
                                                            Poet of all time

This is one of my favorite poets..It was included in her book of "Poems Of Inspiration And Courage" 1965..
I love to read poetry of all types but inspirational is my favorite and this lady published thirty-six books and she wrote over 5,000 poems. She was named the 1965 Honorary Chanceellor of the National Federation of State Poetry Societies, only four other poets had ever been thus honored at that time..She is now gone from our midst, but her poems linger on in our minds and in her books..Hope you enjoy this one as much as I do....Blessings, Susie
