Bible Story Poem by Phillip Walter

Bible Story

In an old dirty street
On an evening so mild
The salesman bought a Bible
For his little child.

With an olive wood cover
Pages edged in gold
Both testaments within it
For his 5 year old.

'I've got a picture Bible Dad':
She had shyly said
'But I would really like
A proper one instead.'

So moved by a sense of occasion
For that's the way I am
I bought my child a Bible
From a book shop in Jerusalem.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
A clammy evening in Old Jerusalem and a Book Shop is open. It seemed the right time to buy a Bible.
