To Be Healed...

A poem from 1985


They raised a bronze snake
upon a pole
and whensoever one was bitten
by a serpent
he had only to gaze upon the effigy
to be healed

They raised a man
upon a cross
He died
then rose again to life everlasting
and whensoever one is bitten
by the serpent
he has only to call upon the name of Jesus
to be healed.
