Last Act Of Penance Poem by Andy Caldwell

the last act of penance
of a terminal and dieing man
was to fall down on his knees
and whisper Lord I understand
You have cast away my darkness
let me see Your light this night
You are the way and only truth
Buddhist Muslim Christian Jew
all others too......
all are Your created
religion itself belongs to You
there is no other way
Jesus is the one and only Christ
that and only that is right
Your love for all humanity
now fills the domain of my eyesight
I am happy now he then said
and collapsed stone cold dead
To find his spirit before The Lord
his name written in The Book Of Life
reader the rest in time you'll learn
but pray now and listen
you also will start to understand
