Valentine's Day with Jesus



Jesus does not send perfume

To linger in the air

Instead He sends salvation sweet

To show how much He cares.

He doesn't bring me candy hearts

In boxes of delight

Instead He always lets me know

I'm precious in His sight..



He doesn't pass out pretty cards

Trimmed in shades of red

Instead He gives life for me

His precious blood was shed.

He doesn't hand out fancy gifts

Like we would send to mother

Instead He sends a message clear

To always love each other.

He doesn't give me teddy bears

That whimper, please be mine

Instead He gave His heart to me

I wear it all the time.

He doesn't give me roses, pink

For all the world to see

Instead He gave eternal life

That's good enough for me

That sounds very original! I bet you had a great valentine day reflecting on these thoughts. One question though, what was your inspiration? really?

thanks mosoba for passing by....ati original, ha ha, yes it is original but the poem is not mine but from a friend in america....the world went to recession and unemployment arose...in the midst of all that financial turmoil people ask where is God...that is the question the poem answers
