[hometext] => A very wise King knows the sacrificing love of a Mother, and takes advantage of this knowledge to render a Just Judgment!
[bodytext] =>  In a land far removed across the sea. not viewed by you and me. A young Jewish Man, started to reign as King, in the year 1037 BCE. His name was Solomon. In Hebrew his name is "hard-won!" for it also means "Peace," out-done! This, matched with his extreme intelligence. Not another, could even come close.... Not even one! He was only 12 years old, when the grave reponsibility of King would unfold! Over 2 Million Jews to him subject. He must daily judge and check! His marvelous wisdom was renowned! Reputation world 'round! Queen Sheba paid a formal visit. She traveled from South West Arabia, from the ends of the earth to see him, demonstate his marvelous worth! While there, she was invited to sit as a witness in his court. Two woman and an infant stand facing Solomon, with their consort. Young King Solomon has been forewarned. But, he allowed them to speak. The woman holding the child said, "We both live in the same house, she & I. I gave birth to a baby boy, two days later a baby boy was born to her, but her baby boy would die!" "She sneaked into my room, while I slept. Stole my baby boy and replaced it, with her dead baby as she wept! When I woke up, I saw the dead baby next to me, and knew that it was not mine!" Then the other woman began to plead, "No!" she said, "The living child is mine! and the dead baby is hers!" The first woman once again pleads, "No!" she screams, "The live baby is mine, and the dead baby is hers!" As the two woman cry and plead constantly, Solomon may wish he could just flee! Instead, he sends for a Sword! When it arrives, he orders the living baby to be cut in half! The swordsman pleads, "But, My Lord!" Solomon then says, "Give each Mother a half! "No!" cries the Real Mother, "Please, do not kill the baby, give it to this woman!" "No!" cries the other woman, "Don't give it to either one of us, go on cut it in half, as fast as you can!" Finally Solomon speaks......... "Do Not Kill the baby, give it back to the first woman, for I know she is the Real Mother. She loves her little son so much, she is willing to give him away, so alive he can stay!" As Queen Sheba watched, she was astonished! at King Solomon's stupendous wisdom! And soon she would return to her own Kingdom. Telling everyone there to listen to what she had to say.............. "King Solomon is the Wisest, Most Intelligent King to be found, anywhere in our day!"

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
