Greatest Love
Poet: Ken Jordan
Poem: Greatest Love
Edited by: Sparkle Jordan
written:
With all my heart, and soul
I want to love like the One
who was beaten to within
an inch of his life.....
The One who
suffered bloody gores
that penetrated
his head from a crown
of thorns -
He is the One
that knows
what love is -
If only we would
follow his teachings
we would know
what love is......
With all my heart
and soul
I'm going to
walk with him -
The One who's helpless
body,
absorbed unlimited pain
from soldiers that hated
him -
Barbaric as it was,
they inflicted capital
punishment on an
innocent man of love,
and peace -
Severally inflicting gashing
wounds to his body with
whips, chains, and other
sharp objects, until blood
ran from his eyes -
After all this,
his accuser's spat,
and laughed upon him
as his weak body; barely
crawling, carried a heavy
wooden cross on his back,
up a steep brick street,
as mobs of pitiless soldiers
continued their relentless
assault on a helpless
(near death) soul -
By the time they reached
Calvary, just outside of
Jerusalem,
the Man who they called
"The Prince Of Peace,"
was nearly gone -
Still, the ruthless soldiers
showed no mercy, as they
dragged his body to the top
of Calvary hill,
They nailed him to a wooden
cross with eight inch spiked
nails through his hands
and feet -
Thus before the
crucifixion ended, he spoke:
"Father, forgive them, for they
know
not what they do."
He paid the ultimate price for
love -
I will always follow him -
the One who love's me,
He gave His life
so that I may live -
I love you - Jesus
