He was gentle and compassionate
Filled with love and tenderness
Yet, beyond the mildness of the lamb
There was the reality that He had the
Strength of lions disguised in meek

He was affectionate to those who needed
A devoted heart and a soothing spirit
Someone who would listen with empathy
And give them an opportunity to be 
Understood with true, kindly sympathy

He was kind to the broken hearted
And gave sincere love to those in need
There was a sense of God’s wisdom
In all his words, parables and miracles
He gave them all His true discernment

He listened to the lame and poor
Told the demons to leave their prey
Yet, most often, the pharisees came
And put him down for doing good deeds
Making the people see their blessings

He washed the disciples feet with joy
That He was giving, serving in love
Sharing the light that is sent from above
The sweetness and quietness of a dove
Meant to bring down God’s gracious spirit

He taught in the tabernacle and His disciples too
Giving them the greatest lessons ever instructed
Reassuring their questions with deepest insight
Answering them with truth that He was
Their guide, their light, their mercy in love

He welcomed the children to his knee
Told all who would listen how he did feel
About the father up above, the one who
Gave his utmost, His one and only son
Jesus is always the very best I AM!
