Poetry
Picture frames sure vary so,
whether big or small.
They all have work they need to do,
whether wide or tall.
Picture frames are so unique,
maple, oak or pine -
but focus not on picture frames -
they're merely for design.
Frames can border a photo.
Frames can border a place.
Frames can border a work of art
or frames can border a face.
When I was just a little boy,
(and though I was quite small),
a picture I remember well
was hanging down the hall.
I know my father put it there.
It hung for many years.
It was there throughout my teens -
showed sorrow, pain and tears.
That picture was of Jesus
bowed lowly on His knees -
at a huge and solid rock,
near branches from some trees.
His hands were neatly folded.
Love flowed from both His eyes.
His head was tilted way, way back -
His face gazed on the skies.
Dark clouds covered most the sky.
Rays of moonlight lit His face,
and seemed to put a glow around
this humble Man of grace.
For years, that picture on our wall
drew thoughts within my mind...
God sent down here, His only Son,
to sinful men, unkind.
I remember well, the picture.
I don't recall that frame.
but oh, what matters most is this -
that I really know His name.
