Ode To Mosheh Poem by James Dylan

A greater man never embraced the air
An existence that was most divine
To thee only did the Lord appear
Delivering to your hands many a sign

Why the charge was given your way
Thou tried but could hardly surmise
Your love was never led astray
Canaan was placed before your eyes

Thy faithful rod a companion treasured
A gift not of the Land
Eve’s beauty was so it could not be measured
Yet it could not compare to your hand

Created imperfect with shaky speech
The Lord loves not those who claim perfection
Thus you were the one he commanded to teach
Of all the nations his chosen selection

Where you lay we shall never know
No sinful apple can ever unclose
The spot the lord dealt the final blow
For the mighty being that he chose
