Stained Glass Window

Stained Glass Window

A Poem by J.A.Bentley
"

I wrote this to an old friend who thought he knew Love

"

Perhaps you know Love

perhaps I am wrong

but this I know

that not too long ago

my heart was a broken song

and broken glass bottles

 

I am in repair

from twenty years worth damage

but this I know

that not too long ago

I was wed in marriage

to my faithful Lord Jesus

 

Now I must admit

of a love

that you so casually remit

that any love outside of this

is a candle not worth to be lit

or lips not worth the kiss

 

 

To know love...

is to love death...

the death of you...

so that you may be made

a Beautiful Stained Glass Window.

 

In love that I pray you understand

and your days find truth,

Jon
