NaPoWriMo #6

I didn't like either of today's prompts, so I decided to write a poem inspired by this Sunday's Gospel and my recent reading about St. Thomas Aquinas. Apologies for any theological accuracy that may have been sacrificed for the sake of the rhyme scheme.

The Two Thomases

The Twin heard tale of how the Lord did rise yet could not bring himself to take their part until he saw the Christ before his eyes and touched the wound the spear left through His heart. Such proofs left doubt no place within his mind; the skeptic fell before Him wholly awed. Then faith could see what reason could not find and knew Him for his mighty Lord and God. The Ox in later years did reason heed and knew that Christ had not gone from man’s sight. Creation gave all sign a man could need to know his God within faith’s holy light. O holy pair, we see the truth through thee That God gives faith to those with eyes to see.
