Olive of Gethsemane

2009 year old olive tree There in the garden of Gethsemane Close by him did you hear him pray As sweat drops of blood Poured down his loving face Did you feel the torches As the soldiers entered the place Did you feel the kiss of Judas Iscariot Placed upon his tear stained face Did his mighty breath brush against your leaves Over the short life that he lived How many times did you hear him pray How oft did he come to the garden to stay In your hollow are his words stored Could I visit and be restored?

I enjoyed reading this one- very creative and imaginative taking you to the scene. Would you like to read my poem "The Carpenter"?
