Good Friday

Green jelly beans taste so great
Onyx beads fancy on my braids
On my way to celebrate 
Divine holiday Easter is great

Fuchsia dress and patent leather shoes
Ready to confess sins be renewed
In my heart of hearts I’m moved
Deeply by sermon’s teal truth
Anointed amber spiritual words
Youth choir singing in the church

Happy belated Good-Friday, I call it Fish-Friday! Oh, you bring it back, I remember I begged for patten-leather boots as a girl, (lol) Very much enjoyed, KJ! I liked "Deeply by sermon’s teal truth" Easter Blessings

How nice you still honor this day. I remember getting out of school for it in the 60s but my church didn't do Friday service. Very nice, Karen

On Good Friday, thinking of the suffering and humiliation Jesus endured, we are moved to repentance and confess our sins. The rituals in the church are life giving and the sermon- heart touching. In few lines, you have incorporated every aspect of Good Friday and Easter. Dear Karen, have a Happy Easter!
