I have a friend…a Facebook friend…who lives across the sea
We share a love of life…of kindness….and a love of poetry.
We’ve never actually spoken face to face…we found a different way to intertwine…as I like reading his poetry…and he likes reading mine.
His name is Owen…the Poetic Preacher…and with him I must agree
for what better way to preach…than with a little poetry.
He lives in Zambia in a town called Kafue (caw-foo-ay)
and from across the ocean I’d like to wish him a happy birthday today.
I know we only see each other on Facebook..and only from time to time…
but it’s nice to share a story…some laughter…a smile or a rhyme.
So happy birthday Owen…and for those who’ve never had the the pleasure of inviting his writing into your homes…I’ll leave you, as a birthday gift, one of Owen’s poems…
Your mind is a garden
Your thoughts are the seeds
You can either grow flowers
Or you can grow weeds.
I hope you have a chance to read his words…you take the opportunity…
to feel the wonder of his preaching…when it’s mixed with poetry.
Preaching for a world of kindness…a world of acceptance…
a world where everyone is free…preaching for a world at peace…
peace through poetry.
