The Little Boy’s Fish..... Poem by Michael P. Johnson

“How oft in life you sit in doubt
In utter deep despair
Wondering what this life’s about
Does Jesus live and care?

Again you went to church today
You wondered why you’d gone
You heard what man had there to say
But was it from God’s Son?

Reposed, you huddled in your pew
Gave nothing to the plate
Yet hoped The Lord would bless anew
Expecting something great

Did you, give God of all you had?
Did giving make you weak?
Did Satan leave you feeling mad?
Did tears roll down your cheek?

Did you sing your song The Lord to please?
Did you pray in Christ on high?
Or wave and feel the mighty breeze?
And thought your heart would fly?

Or did you go that you’d be fed?
With nothing of your own
Yet moan what this or that one said
Nursing your heart of stone

Recall the boy upon the hill –Jn.6: 9
The miracle in sight
Five thousand, were to get their fill
When Christ received his might –Lk.21: 4

Now why not try it too my friend?
Allow your pride to fall
Prepare not just your knee to bend
But give to God your all”…
