In the Christmas bustle
The season of ‘goodwill’
Where people barge each other
When queuing for the till
You held the door for me
And I am grateful to you still

So I sit and I stare.
This morning I prayed for forgiveness.

Hello, Is Jesus There Please? by Richard Crowther

He seemed so genuine,
Although I only met him once on the bus,
I hope I didn’t make a fuss, I just wanted to discuss
The Bible.
Perhaps he’d come to my workshop, and discuss
The Bible.
Such a nice man.
Sometimes, on the tram,
I call home, and talk to the machine,
And loudly I talk about
The Bible.
