Thank You, Minister - A Poem

Thank You, Minister

She wrote a short letter to

thank the minister

for his most recent sermon.

There had been some people

in her life that were treating

her like she was vermin!

The minister’s words

were so encouraging.

They brought her

back to life.

She had really been struggling

as a special needs mother

and an estranged wife.

She reads the Bible

on her own

and with that help,

she has grown,

but there was something

about the minister’s tone

and intonations

that encouraged her

further.

The passion with which

he spoke in this particular sermon,

preaching to keep the faith

and keep believing,

giving so much glory and so much praise

resonated with her

for days.
