Analysis of Started with a coffee.



The coffee led to talking

And the talking led to smiles

Fellow travelers stopping

For a new thing, just a while.

I'd seen you with your puzzles

Crossword, Sudoku and such.

You'd seen me with my IPad

Writing down with rapid touch.

What's it all about Partner?

Must be writing Life and more?

Nope, just poems of the Gospel

Holds my heart and words in store.

Really? I can barely write

Three sentences of worth.

Well here's my card

And here's my Lord.

The Greatest Show on Earth.

The greatest tale, compassion.

Some miracles disbursed

Salvation for the Guilty

And rescue from the worst.

Was meant that we combine here.

For stunning chapter, verse.
