J26 Jesus Heals A Boy. Poem by Simple Simon

A man brought his son,
Possessed by a demon,
And to Jesus, he prayed
“Have mercy on me Lord.”

“My son is an epileptic.
He’s very much sick.
Often he falls in the fire,
Or sometime into water.”

“Your disciples didn’t cure,
When I brought him here,
So, please heal my son,
And free him from demon.”

“Bring him here, ” Jesus said.
“Come out, ” when he ordered.
A scream from the spirit
Drove the boy into a fit.

Like a corpse, he looked.
“He’s dead, ” everyone said.
Jesus helped him to rise.
He stood up, as a surprise.

At last, the spirit left him
And back it never came.
It was one more miracle
To the crowd of people.

The disciples asked Jesus,
“Why we couldn’t chase,
And drive the demon out,
When we all ordered it.

“Enough faith you’ve not
That failed to drive it out.
With all faith, if you order,
You can move this hill there.”

“You must know this truth.
That if you’ve full faith,
You can then do anything
Good, that’s worth saying.”
