Easter's Love

Happy Easter would you please come in
Said the man at the door with a big grin

I went there with my daughter; I felt so out of place
You see all my life all I had been was a damn disgrace

Then I learned of the act that was the world’s greatest loss
I couldn’t believe man had nailed the Son of God to the cross 

The reason he stayed nailed to the cross was clear to see
He was held up on that cross by his love for you and me

As I slowly departed from inside of Church that day
I received a blessing and looked at life in a brand new way

Well I can see God in your heart too........what a wonderful poem. We all have been a disgrace in life one way or the other. But with God all things are possible. I know he sure touched my life. And I am so greatful.... I can see He has touched yours too. Loved reading some of your other poems too. I also just started writing poetry in 2003. What does God want us to do for Him through Poetry I wonder?

I so agree, dear poet, Michael. I came to look at your page from Raul's dedication poem to you. You are all that he so skillfully described. It is a pleasure to see your poetry and I hope to get to know you as well. I am new here. Raul visited my page and left a comment which led me to a couple of you here at the site. I look forward to more when I can find time,but I sure did enjoy this lovely depiction of our Lord. aloha with warm regards, Koko
