Mildred J. Douglass: favorite poems...penned by others Too Late - Josephine Edwards
A leper sat beside a cave In upper Galilee. His face was eaten with disease, 'Twas terrible to see.
But tidings had been drifting in, Been told by word of mouth That even lepers had been cleansed By a healer in the South.
He worked around Jerusalem He'd even raised the dead And hungry souls by thousands fed On fishes and on bread.
I think I'll go, the leper said, And see what can be seen Perhaps He'll see my sorry plight Perhaps He'll make me clean.
He put it off from day to day It was too hot, too cold. He felt the lethargy of disease, And he was growing old.
At last three years had come and gone And quickly passed away Before the leper roused himself And went upon his way.
When his weary eyes beheld at last That his journey's end was nigh He saw three crosses etched in black Against the darkening sky.
