A True Hero

A true hero has emerged in the form a young man

Look, I know our beliefs differ;

They mash and diverge.

I'm here asking,

Could this start a surge?

A Godly young man,

Who is deep in The Word;

Has left his place of comfort,

Left it to go serve.

Not in a foreign mission field,

But here on American streets.

His goal you ask?

To show love to the bums he meets.

He has answered God's calling,

And is serving it fully.

He is extremely intelligent,

So don't call him loopy.

He is a fanatic,

Sold out for Christ.

Giving his all,

Even his life.

He is serving in Austin Texas,

He arrived this week.

To live as and among the homeless,

Showing love at its peak.

He gave up his everything,

He left it all behind.

To give the people hope,

To blow their mind.

By showing them who God is,

With all The Lord's glory.

My request is that,

You remember this story.

You may disagree with his stance,

You may call it Insane.

But I admire him,

And he wants no fame.

 Remember him please,

Keep him in your prayers.

For John-Mark Harris,

Has taken his cross to bear.

Author's Note

Please, I know some people do not believe in God on here, I'm Just asking that if you do serve the one true and mighty God, that you keep John-Mark in your prayers! He is living as a homeless man on the streets of Austin Texas and showing love to those people there. He is ministering and witnessing to them. Please do not post any negative comments on this.

Wow, awe inspiring story, what an amazing person. Your poetry does him justice, I have a lot of respect for both of you. Well said here.

[Sir Joseph]

He is an amazing artist! His spoken word is so moving!

[Frieda P]

I don't think I could do that myself, I need a hot shower and my blow dryer ;-) but I find it very moving indeed...selfless.

[Sir Joseph]

Yes, he is very humble

[Ethan Raver]

God is amazing... He and you shared this to me when i was about to give up. But no a true hero doesn't give up.

[Sir Joseph]

Yes God is amazing! He gives us the strength we need if we just rely on Him!

i respect your right to your beliefs and commend you for a thoughtful write about one whom you respect....you have exemplified your sentiments well. nice piece of writing.

[Sir Joseph]

Thank you very much. This is actually the second one i wrote. The first one to me was better and came at a different angle. But right when i was almost done the website like refreshed itself and seeing as how i free hand just about everything on the spot, i lost it... But thank for the review and im glad it turned out to be a nice write!

I think it would be hard to live homeless so that is very good of him to do so and be a witness to them. Everyone, no matter where they are or where they come from needs to know what true love really is and that they don't have to go through this world alone. I believe we should pray for all of God's people around the world, because in some places it is not easy being a believer and they need all the encouraging and help they can get.

Great Job

[Sir Joseph]

You are correct. And thank you! I would like my christian friends on here to pray for John-Mark

[~*~Peace Keeper~*~]

[Sir Joseph]

Thank you!
