Rachael Moves Mountains Poem by Terence George Craddock (Spectral Images and Images Of Light)

The faith of a child
can be an awe inspiring
absolutely amazing thing.

Things said
immediately exclaimed
from mouths of babes.


Rachael was jumping
on edge of a king size bed
using it as a trampoline.

A bedroom habit dangerous
perchance to slip fall hard
onto unforgiving ceramic tiles.

Her mother clearly irritated
by this repetitive habit dangerous
an angry warning shouted


Rachael stop jumping
on the edge of the bed.
You can fall and your neck break.

Then you will be dead.
Rachael without pause replied
"If I die Daddy will

give me blood
and I will be
alive again."


If I could I would
restore hurt all humans
their pain heal.

Which with wonder fills
my mere mind mortal.
Why does God not do this?
