Roadway Surprise, An Easter Story

Roadway Surprise, an Easter Story

Hello. My name is Cleopas.
There’s little of me to discuss.

But as I and my friend walked,
We had a very serious talk

As we moved along the Emmaus Road,
We were feeling our world had folded.

The Jesus case was now closed;
Or so we thought; because he arose.

We were sad, because we had hoped.                                                               Now, we were just trying to cope.

Suddenly, Christ appeared and walked close.
At first, it seemed a stranger to us had spoke.

How would you feel if you were among the first?
We were taken by surprise; but Christ quenched our thirst.
