King David the Giant Killer

He gathered five stones for the fight of his life only needed one the right one to win He was a shepherd anointed to be king young and handsome against Goliath a giant arrogant and loud he spoke with so much venom in despair everyone ran away as faith hid behind fear friends and foe alike took one look at David laughed ridiculed by the devil but he had faith no turning back faith is all he had left, evil would not prevail looked bad for him man's armour was awkward it was like carrying the weight of the world death smiles impatiently waiting for anyone someone to be released from their earthly costume He ran to do battle to be written for you and me Goliath wore sword spear and javelin a fearful sight along the way David picked up five smooth stones put one in his sling always looking to the heavens meanwhile Goliath swore with contempt of David’s coming end a storied fight he drew with words a painting of sorts the results of his handiwork on David’s parts without hesitation faith as his shield David’s stone left his sling and the Giant was silenced evil was be-headed by a shepherd, a smooth stone and God Frank Black Blacharczyk
