Daniel
When it comes to faith, this is what I have to say,
Brother Daniel prayed three times a day.
When captured and not wanting to be rude,
Told the King, “Thanks , but we don’t want your food.”
In the end when they were all put to the test,
Daniel and the Hebrew boys were better than all the rest.
The king had a dream , that he could not understand,
Little did he know, Daniel was God’s right hand man!
Daniel told the king, “for seven years you will be insane,
But then God will give you back your reign.
This will be done, so that all on earth will know,
No one can rise to power, unless God says so!”
Another time , Daniel was thrown into the lions den,
Believe it or not, praying to God , was his only sin.
That night, even the king brought things to a pause,
He need not have worried, Angels gave the lions, lockjaws!
The Babylonians were partying, having a big free for all,
That is, until they saw the hand, writing on the wall.
And this was not the type of writing , one normally sees,
When the king saw it, he turned white, got weak at the knees!
The king said, “ interpret it, and receive riches and purple robe,”
Daniel said , “I’ll tell you what it says, but keep your gold.”
Daniel served a God that neither sleeps nor slumbers,
Then told the king, it says, “your days in here are numbered!”
So be like Daniel, always take time out to pray,
And remember this one thing, “God don’t play!

About the Book
This is a collection of poems about people in the Bible. It is an attempt to bring them to life, so that the average reader, believer or non believer will say, “I got it! Now I understand who Job, Isaiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, and Jeremiah were!” It is by no means a replacement for the Bible, and I hope all who read it will search the scriptures for themselves to see if the poems are correct. For example, did the king really turn white and get weak at the knees in the book of Daniel? It is the author’s hope and prayer, that all who read these poems, will not be able to put them down! And cause them all to want to learn more and more about the word of God. I had written many poems about the Los Angeles Lakers and only one poem for the church. This book is an attempt to change that, in a sense, saying, “God, this one’s for you!”
“I found these poems to be heartwarming and inspirational. For Christians everywhere, or anyone curious about people of the Bible, a must read! Rev. Charles Harris II, Pastor, Village Baptist Church, Los Angeles,California.”
