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.

I would love to know what you thought about this piece.
