Jairus
he may have feared
the result
other than that desired
dreaded the words of his peers
or his superiors
he may have hesitated
at the brink of
commitment
he may have had his doubts
of these we are not told
but of his faith we hear
and that he did come
to the feet of Christ
and beg his daughter’s life
nor are we told
of his joy
after Jesus woke her from death
as easily as a parent would
a nap
After seeing it acted in
The Miracle Maker. Wow!
