Helen sent me a postcard. It featured a cottage at the Beamish Museum. That was interesting enough but on the back of the card, she hadn’t sent a message but a poem which she had written. It was simply called ‘Postcard’. And this is what she wrote:

Having a great few days

in Capernaum.

I could amaze

you with stories

of a Man we’ve met.

We’ve seen glories

you would not believe!

He heals the sick

and you receive

forgiveness for your sins.

If you follow Him

new life begins!

The skies are blue and clear

over Galilee.

Wish you were here!

(Helen Lawrenson)
