The poem concerns the Biblical story of the “Fall of…

Survivors!
Catching Covid-19 virus is a fear that is real, Nothing to be trifled with, it’s a very big deal.

May the peace of God be upon us!
When we have the peace of Christ in our hearts, thankfulness overflows. Even in the darkest of times, we can praise Him for His love, and trust in His sovereignty. With a strong faith, no one can separate us from the love of God, that is revealed to us in Christ Jesus our Lord and Saviour. *************************************************************************** – Joan Amorganda #009-09022021 > my poem, poem, poetry, quotes, quotation, quotations, pray, prayers

Surprised that for a time I wasn’t making sense. Thought that I was delusional, maybe even dense. On the contrary everything I uttered I felt was germane.
