The Healer

A Christian poem about Jesus

You needed a healer

a cross bearer

a forgiver of sin

But I'm only a human

imperfect

flesh and blood

vulnerable in your hands

and my pain is deep, sour sea

I offered you mercy

but you only found some vigor

to abandon me and refuse me thrice

to let me down for money

But like a bee sucking nectar in flowers

my soul is flowing alive water

and I won't forbid you from drinking

what my Father God has bestowed

and brought for all scarce

Beautiful free verse! The way you break up the poem into the different segments is perfect, I love the descriptive lines that follow up their subject, "I'm only human imperfect flesh and blood", the extra anecdotes, "flesh and blood" does add interest to the rest of the poem.
