(John the Baptist, Christ as described in Isaiah 53:2)
I once met a man along the way,
who was not pleasant to behold, I must truly say.
He was a messenger from God he declared;
his message had eternal importance for all those who really cared.
His features were rough, his message at first not plainly clear;
he said that only those with eyes could see and ears could hear.
As I related this tale to a friend much more wise,
he asked me about the message, not what I saw with my eyes.
I pondered aloud that my judgement may have been too swift;
I now understand the message was not of this world; it was meant to give souls a heavenly lift.
You see the things of God can only be spiritually discerned;
the outward appearance is not what is important, from him I learned.
Now when I see a messenger in the temple, church or on the street,
I will look on the heart and focus on the message sweet.
The next time a message from God arrives at my door,
I will open my mind, my heart, and seek to know more.
