The big question is

 a poem by Reginold Ajay Jacob, India

The big question is,

Whose shield is better? and

I know it's certainly mine,

For it has the touch of the divine.

I may be a grasshopper,

In front of their devious plans,

Yet know it for certain,

I am in His hands.

He bled and died for me,

He bore insults and shame,

Can His protection fail,

No none can make such claims.

Let them try their arrows,

I will bow down in prayer,

My defence is invincible,

I am sure of His care.

PERSISTENCE, a poem by Reginold Ajay Jacob, India

PERSISTENCE

a poem by Reginald Ajay Jacob, India

First I had one heart,

Now I have four,

One heart I could crush at random

Of this, I was very sure.

Today I live in four hearts,

Each heart is dearer than mine

I am given the duty to nourish

Three most beautiful lives

Let my heart go to the gutter,

I do not care anyway,

But what will happen to my hearts

For them, I always pray.

They are attached to my heart

If I get crushed, they’ll be crushed all the more

How can I bear this sadness?

The once who are my very own.

I’ll live for you

Till the time he allows

Till all difficulties

In front of my persistence bow

Note- four hearts stand for me, my twins and my wife. I wrote this poem as I passed through testing times.
