The Strong Man Poem by Gerry Legister

The Strong Man



The Bible tells us about a man who became strong,
He was ruled by rage and lived in a foreign land
He was big and tall and build like the city wall
and declared that no one could make him fall.
He had long spears and sharp knives,
they called him uncircumcised hated and despise,
He brag about his powers and his enemies fate,
But he too would not have long to wait.
Before meeting a young soldier practicing his faith,
an invisible kingdom provided his strength,
He was not big and tall but had a powerful guard,
and declared his faith in the true and living God.
Out of the two men the latter was the strongest,
not for his muscular brawn but for the help request,
He became the stronger man restoring a nation’s pride,
when brave men sought a place of refuge to hide.
His trust in God was scorned and mocked,
but suddenly all their mocking would stopped,
slain by the might of heavenly force in full flight,
and his enemies scattered to hide their fright.
