    Baptism

    The rain fell gently upon her,
    a mist of heavens grace,
    lifting up her countenance
    as the droplets kissed her face.

    Standing firm within the storm
    barefoot and soaked to the skin,
    she stood in place through
    heavens grace
    being baptized from her sin.

    Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

    Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
