God's Favourite Poem! Poem by Denis Martindale

A famous poet died one day
And then to Heaven rose,
Where angels' harps began to play
As each sound overflows...
A thousand doves flew overhead,
To guide the poet home,
Yet one thought filled his mind instead,
What was God's favourite poem?

From childhood rhymes that he once penned,
Would God find favour now?
Or rhymes that said Christ is our friend,
If only we'd allow?
Or Nature's cavalcade on Earth,
Adorned for Adam's eyes?
Or Eve's great beauty and her worth
In Eden's Paradise?

Or cosmos thoughts beyond the stars,
The Universe revealed?
Or prophecies that came to pass
Or scrolls remaining sealed?
Or visions that came day and night
As from the throne of grace,
Or joys beyond Man's known delight
In seeing Jesu's face?

The poet walked the streets of gold
Within the Pearly Gates,
All true the legends that were told
For each who celebrates...
The Saviour beckoned him advance,
As if to grant reward
And yet the poet took a chance,
One question to the Lord...

'Of all the poems that I wrote,
Which one pleased God the most?
For I wrote many thoughts of note,
Thanks to the Holy Ghost! '
Then Jesus smiled to show He cared,
'God liked your last one best! '
The poet stood there, unprepared,
As if he were perplexed...

Then Jesus said, 'When that was done,
Your life was thus complete,
When finally you'd meet God's Son,
Right here, where life's so sweet...
Your life's the poem that God saw,
Your faith's the rhyme to love,
That's why you're here for evermore,
To share your thoughts above...'
