This poem is dedicated to Mary Magdalene...
"This I say to you woman, I LOVE YOU,
Think not this love different from any other.
I love all men as equal,
My father, my brothers and my mother.
A special disciple you are,
amongst all of them.
Thou hast come to me in repentance,
unlike many other men.
Unlike those who seek me,
riches, well being and the SELF, their goal.
I do not condemn their human nature,
But, you come to purify your soul."
'With arms spread out, I stand as a beggar,
a failed life and nothing to hope for.
I find a ray of light in thee,
to rid my dark soul of its scar.
In debt, I do not see myself,
cause thou, hath forgiven me.
In all honesty, I find myself,
surrendered at your feet.
The path you tread on,
is far too holy for my tears.
I am , but a sinner Lord,
drowned in misery and fears.'
"Do you not believe me woman,
when I say you are forgiven?!
Woman of little faith, sure aren't thou,
In me, dost not thou believe in?
As the father stands by me,
I have stood by you.
What good is any faith,
if it isn't true...!
Dispelllll your fears and trust
in the light you see.
Sin not again, you will , in humanness,
For you are now touched by divinity."
'Honoured Lord and humbled am I.
Accept service from this servant of thine.
Shameful and a wretched life of sin.
With thy love forgiven,
having purified me from within.
I did not know right from wrong,
I've wasted my days away.
Dreading every night that was so long.
i wish now , in my heart, you would stay.
I have not felt this way before,
I feel like I should sing,
singing praises of our Father Almighty,
and praising the Son, our King,'
"This I say to you,
Thy sins are truly washed away.
Blessed and holy may you be,
for now, shed all your dismay.
You trust in the one true God,
this in your heart, I see,
Once riddled in darkness and sin,
now bathed in purity.
You are to bear witness,
Bear witness to human salvation.
Bear witness to the truth.
The life of the Son of Man, his death and Resurrection."
