The Scribe

poem by: Roxanne Dubarry
Written on Jul 15, 2017

Traditionally a Scribe is known as a Jewish man.
He was actually a transcriber.  The religious
leaders dictated holy words and traditions.
He very carefully preserved them throughout
the generations of time.  Such Biblical writings
were actually inspired by the third person
of the Holy Trinity, the Holy Spirit.

He is an actual person, not a mere ghost.
I can assure you I did not joke.
He is more than a spirit, he is
a real person.

What does it have to do with me?
I sometimes refer to myself as a scribe.
But only when composing Christian
inspirational short stories or poetry.
The Holy Spirit tries to whisper
in my inner ear, the proper
words to say.

Needless to say, I much too often
fail to both trust and obey.
He wants me to convey
the message of my
beloved Lord and Savior 
Jesus Christ.

Frequently he desires me to
retell my own spiritual journey.
How if Jesus is able to love
even me, he is able to love
the rest of humanity.

Love in Christ Jesus!
