The word of God ?

I’ve never seen him

I don’t know anyone that has

I don’t know anyone who knows someone that has
 

I’ve never heard him

I don’t know anyone that has

I don’t know anyone who knows someone that has
 

But

I know some people

I know some people and they hear voices

I know some people and they truly believe what they hear
 

I watch them at night

I watch them and protect them

I watch them and protect them, from the voices in their heads

Great poem for this time of year

Respect is earned at every level in life and a poem of this nature desires more stars or respect that I can give you. Blessings from Florida May God bless you and yours Love, Magics02 Learn to live, learn to forgive. Life is too short.

oh mate, oh mate, I knew it was in you

profoundly moving and disturbing, when understood. And have always felt the compassion behind your work. This does not surprise me. Cheers, Jess, Reprehensibly irrepressible
