He was a faith healer from India,
A gifted man, a Christian. I went there
And saw him cure the deafness in one ear
Of one I knew. But then I felt despair:
He stared at me, and said, ‘You have great pain
In your legs.’ True - I had, but was not ill.
I’d been running for miles that day, to train
For a cross-country race. Run of the mill,
(All self-inflicted) aches and strains, he thought
Was disability needing God’s cure!
I stood silent, as I in no way sought
His ministry, but now I’m not so sure.
Should I have gone up on that stage, to see
If he could have worked some great change in me?
