What Would Jesus Do? Poem by Roxanne Dubarry

Oh, what would Jesus Christ both say and do, Leslie,
if He had a poetic critic such as you?
Would he play a game of computer tags
like you and I seem to play?
Or, would he let your negative
comments about my poetry stand in His way?

There's is only one thing that I haven't done,
and yet I need to do. I call myself a Christian,
but I haven't acted like one unto you.
Jesus Christ would forgive you, and I
really need to.

Besides maybe that poem I wrote about dads really
does belong in a school magazine.
I really would not know I never wrote for
one or did I? It does not matter because
I can't remember that far back.

As for Poetryis...#2 what should a born again Christian do?
Except to say these simple words...I will forgive you...so.
there...and remember you in my daily prayers.

It may be dull and unimaginative according to you,
but what would you do? And don't be quiet about it.
Just how in the world would you recollect your
personal experiences in a freshly original way?

{This is what I actually did: I was joking about you coming
home with my older sister, Lynn, on the City of Everett's para transit van, and making jokes with no need to quote anyone but ourselves, but no one else.

'If I had a lot of money to spend...I would come across the pond.'
(from the U.S.A all the way to the UK.)

'I would walk up to Leslie and throw a (a pie made out of lemon with whipped cream) and throw it in, 'Leslie's face.' Lynn promptly told me, 'Roxanne, you would get arrested.' 'Yes, and they wouldn't give me any pie either (made out of lemons and whipped cream.) 'Promise me you
wouldn't do something...' (stupid like that)

'Leslie is a social worker from England with a university degree...
(He thinks he is really something else..a big shot.
(And today I wonder if Leslie majored in poetry writing!)

My reactions may seem quiet childish to you, and wouldn't
blame you if you told me so. However, these words and my
reactions are true blue. I am being completly honest with you!
But what would Jesus really say and do? 'I am sorry, and I freely
forgive you! }

Love in Christ Jesus!
