This week at the Coffee Morning Cliff bought over a poem to me that he had written coming upto the 1st Anniversary of My Baptism, which took place 13th March 2011.
An Invitation to Union Baptism
Minister David's welcome
To the Baptism
of four candidates
to be bathed in the waters
not from the sea
nor the Euphrates of Jordan
Just Anglian Water
at thirty degrees
With hymns and prayers
David conducts
a reverent friendly
Praise the Lord
Baptism
Carol, Dawn, Joanna and Sandy
their testimony revealed
moving personal declarations
of their pathway
to be blessed
and gently submerged
by the minister
in the welcome waters
of the Baptist faith
enfolded in a pool of hope
coming together
of God body and soul
they emerge
faith declared
service over
I must away
leaving with mustering thoughts
of a quadruple
Union Baptism - March 2011
