The Password by Peter E. Abresch
From MPJ: I have received many requests from people who wanted to send in poetry. Because I wanted the stories to be easy to understand, I said “no poetry” to all of them. Then, this man wrote with the same question. Without knowing why, to him I said “yes, please send them!” He sent several I thought might speak to the concept of this blog. From time to time, I will put one in. I love this one! Enjoy!
The Password
Shhhhhh.
I have found the code
woven through the bible
from early times,
the secret combination
the key to open
heaven’s gates.
And I am amazed that
I have been given
to decipher it.
How many pass over
and never see–
seven times seven?
Though given to all
it is found by only
an exclusive few,
the humble, who already know
the password is–shhhh–
love.
Write it on your heart.

Note from MPJ: Sigh! Formatting I find, is a problem with Wordpress. Until I learn how to write code, I guess we will just have to put up with writings that do not look as pretty as they did in their original form. Sorry!
