Notes About The Poem

An Olive Tree

In this new century of our Lord The gardener planted the young tree Placed in garden of Gethsemane An olive to the knee Around two thousand years have passed A beaten path close by Each word the Olive tucks away Within its heart with sighs When Jesus was just a small boy He would come some to play His tender hand caressed its limbs Alluring light display Twenty-one years passed swiftly by When He came once again Deep in prayer to His Father Then said a soft Amen Most times He came to the garden He touched my bark and roots Once He cried tears with sweat of blood Not heard by His recruits A crowd of soldiers came for Him They lead Him fast away Out of my presence departed In my heart ever stay Some rumors that they crucified Him Twisted my trunk and heart My heart longs for His tender touch He'll come to not depart The disciples in great fear came Whispering in great shame Their leader lies in the cold tomb His name being defamed On Sunday two women named Mary By the olive tree came Joyous excitement jubilation Jesus lives~ proclaim

You have covered the entire gamut of Jesus' life from the garden of Gethsemane to his crucifixion and resurrection. As a tourist, when we visited the garden, I could see the gnarled trunks of many old olive trees. Spot on around Easter!

This is a great poem on Jesus and his resurrection. You made it fresh by personifying the tree

OLIVE trees have been around for centuries, it would stand to reason that Jesus stroked the trunk of this tree in the garden of Gethsemenee . Old Olive trees have much to tell us from centuries back. Jesus probably hugged this Olive trees in this very holy garden which has so much significance When our LORD was crucified it twisted the inside branches of this olive tree but oh what joy when on Easter Day Jesus rose from his grave and presented himself to the two Marys. Happy Easter Sara. Love blessings Jennifer.

Working on a new piece. His name is "I AM" I'm working on changing that name to "I DID" because of this holiday we are having. It's always good to redo a piece. Improvements always make it better.
