Onward Journey. John Bartram Rehm

the intimacy of my conversion to Christ, in my studies I pursued a curriculum that was Christocentric. This enabled me to put my conversion in an historical, as well as spiritual, context. Each of the following couplets invokes an event during or shortly after Jesus’ life based upon the accounts in the New Testament. I hope that these little poems will prove to be inspiring.

      Logos

      From the start there was the word

      Lives of all to undergird.

      Babe

      Swaddled safe from hate and spite,

      Vaulting dark he soars to light.

      Mary

      Mary sings a lullaby,

      Wondering will he live or die.

      Joseph

      Joseph father in name only

      Bore his duty grim and lonely.

      John the Baptist
