+ The Sandals Of God Poem by Jordan Legaspi

The sandals of God


I was born then- naked
In the secret of the nights
I was then bear footed,

I was a child of a poor house
In the hamlets of thieves
I was then a slave,

I grew into a man
But with ignorance
I was then out cast from the society,

But my God called me
To be his mouthpiece
To preach His love-

He clothed me
All these days
Against coldness and warmness-

And share my freedom
That I won in my heart
That gives me life-

And to those forgotten
Be a burning light leading them
In His presence,

Oh, God so small I am
And you made me great
With your everlasting love
