Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is death.

Today’s poem is to a dying friend, wishing that he or she could believe in God.

I welcome comments on my poems at http://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com.

Yours,

Nick Gordon

I wish that I could bring you to the Lord

Before you die, for I have faith that you

And I could be together if you knew

The truth that shines like laughter in His word.

I wish I had the hope that I could be

The instrument through which you'd understand

The love that waits upon your silent hand

To rush into your anguish like a sea.

I wish that you could feel the joy that I

Am filled with now I'm open to His love,

The miracles that daily in me move

So deep there is no need to question why.

I wish, I wish, I wish I could do more

To reach into the raptures of your heart.

But I can only do my humble part

While you and He meet naked at your door.
