(Feeling as I do, that more Christians, not to mention adherents of my religion which certainly includes me, need to emulate the friend who led me to write the poem below, I post it for the inspiration and incentive of readers of this blog. This person who resides in the UK is so humble, would not want his name mentioned. Didn't include it in a book published last year, so won't do so here.)
A Shining Light
The wisest people
I'm blessed to know
At the Master's feet
No matter what bend low.
And I have observed,
These humble stay that way.
It's the way they live --
Not the words they say.
This city set on a hill,
This shedder of light,
Though resident of Scotland
Reaches far with Christ's might.
Christians such as he
Live not for wealth or fame,
But to follow in Jesus' steps.
May I, dear God, do the same.
