Dear Jesus,
Was your mother
Really a virgin
When you were in the womb?
Did Magi from the East
Really visit you
When you were in the manger?
Did the Devil
Really speak to you
When tempted in the mountain?
Was water
Really turned into wine
In Cana of Galilee?
Were the sick
Really healed
In their houses?
Were 5000
Really fed with 5 loaves
When in the mountain?
Were Moses and Elijah
Really with you
When transfigured in another mountain?
Was dead Lazarus
Really raised up
In his house in Bethany?
Was the sky
Really blackened out
When crucified in Jerusalem?
Did you experience
Really new life
When you rose again?
What direction
Really did you travel in
When you ascended?
Is it possible
Really to separate history
From theology?
Will you be able
Really to answer
All my questions?
Anyway if not is it better
Really just to keep asking questions
Than knowing we can never answer them?
