Moses (Free Verse Sonnet) Poem by Gert Strydom

(in answer to M. M. Walters)

He is the man that talks directly to God,
who refuses to be the son of Pharaoh's daughter,
did leave the palace of Pharaoh as a prince
without fearing the anger of Pharaoh,
did go back to Egypt to Pharaoh,
to stand before him as a man of God,
did tell the words of God to that king
and did warn that the Lord God will defeat Pharaoh,
wanted to give up his own life to rescue his nation,
did constantly pray to God,
while the cloud and fiery-column did lead him
and when the people were stubborn against God's law,
he did look with faith as one that sees the unseen
and did live as a man that was only serving the Lord God.
