Christopher
Christopher
The name literally means "Bearer of Christ."
Lord God.
The famous one, the one they still talk about.
That one.
As a youth, he was unable to cross a river,
no bridge
until the tallest guy around picked Him up,
Jesus,
and carried Him on shoulders across the river,
still dry.

This is a WaltMarie poem, prompted by those unnamed poets over at DVerse Poets Pub.

Please consider leaving a comment.
Amen!! :D
