Happy Birthday, Johnny

Tomorrow, 26 February 2005 would have been Johnny Cash's 73rd Birthday. In memory of Johnny I have written this poem:

A voice God would speak with
From a burning bush.
A man not consumed
By the ring of fire.
Hurt and then healed.
Like a Hebrew prophet
filled with the Spirit
Waiting for the man
To come around,
Carrying nothing
But the thought of You.
