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.
