The Greatest Poet



The Greatest Poet (We Will All Agree...)

by Robert C Gardner

I would love to write a story,
Of life that never dies.
Of love that's never ending,
That soars above the skies.

Oh to be the one,
Who wrote the happiest song.
Of love that's never ending.
Of love that's never wrong.

Men can write a poem or rhyme,
But none could ever tell;
How life goes on forever;
In Heaven or in Hell

But God gave us the Bible,
To learn of His great plan,
Of a love that's never ending,
When He sent the Son of Man

The poems in the Bible,
Are there for all to read.
The lessons taught and learned;
The Best Poet we must heed.

So while I'll never write the words;
I'll carry them within my heart
Then tell of He who wrote the words,
And The Word He did impart

Decisions, Decisions, Decisions,
We make them everyday,
In how we choose to live,
In every single way.

You may not believe, He's the Greatest Poet,
But in the end you will agree,
For every knee will bow and tongue confess
As we face: Eternity.
