The Poet & The Preacher:
A Love Story in Four Micro-poems
Love Poem – from a Poet
I love you more than poetry
How can it be
that my heart didn’t create you?
When you are the deepest
most
beautiful
part
of
me.
Prayer –from a preacher
Our love is a sacred
Sacrifice
And I would gladly lie
down upon your altar
My heart bare for all to see
Please-
Say that you love me.
Lord- hear my prayer
My Prayer of Confession
Dear God-
I’m sorry.
But let me explain…
The Best Sermon I’ve Ever Written:
(And I’ve penned thousands)
Is love.
