I wrote a book some years ago of which I was quite proud
It was about St Peter’s wife and all the gospel crowd.
I tried to get it published but I didn’t try too hard
I didn’t have the courage. In fact I was a coward.
I just took one rejection then published it myself.
Is it any wonder the book stayed on the shelf?
Now I’ve changed to poetry, people are quite kind
I think I’ll try to publish. I have made up my mind!
Was it like this for Matthew, for John, or Mark, or Luke?
They didn’t have to publish a commercial book!
Thank goodness for the gospels diverse but so profound
I am really thankful that the Good Book is around.
