About Born To Wear The Crown by Richard D Gordon
Too often Christmas and Easter are viewed as two separate events in the life of Jesus. They, indeed, do mark two events…the beginning and ending… of our Savior’s life… but together these “events” fulfill the Singular Purpose of His life.
These two poems, Godson and The Magnificent Difference, illustrate one man’s understanding of the purpose, meaning, and connection of these two spectacular events, in this remarkable gift of Salvation from God.
The poem, The Magnificent Difference ~ examines the difference between Jesus’ sacrifice, and that of an ordinary man giving up his life for others.
The difference is profound, and fulfills the ultimate promise of the Birth of Christ.

In his own words:
“The joy of Life… the Joy of people… has always been the underlying themes of my work. For the past forty years I have been writing… not as a “writer” per se, but as a husband, celebrating his wife, and as a father lifting his children in song… and now as a grandfather soaring with my grandkids.”
I am at a stage in my life when I ask: Why do I create?”
Well, the answer becomes clearer every day. I create because I have a great desire to share my sensibilities with the world.
Joy, and its source, is what I seek to share most.
