The Amazing Grace Of God Poem by RIC BASTASA

The Amazing Grace Of God



HIS WIFE, and two daughters
and son
and his mother were on that bus
that lost a brake
and banged its head on the old
trunk of the big acacia tree
on the road
to Isabela,

they were visiting the miraculous
church of Manaoag
as a family

all of them died except him
who is now
lighting a candle and offering prayers
to five coffins,

and yet when asked
he says
he still feels the AMAZING GRACE OF GOD.
