A Sam Scott poem:
17th April 2025
Maundy Thursday

Listen to poem:

This is the day We break the bread Cup full of wine To numb the head This is the day When truth reveals The veil of lies A mind conceals This is the day We knew would be That thorny cap Of destiny Awaits the king Of hearts and minds Releasing all the Chain that binds This is the day A final feast Then walk to face The mighty beast A farewell toast A hug goodbye Of knowing me You will deny We pivot now Towards the end Death's lonely path My feet to wend A different way Would be so nice Now suffering To sacrifice This is the day We eat our last So I can save you From your past So, go I must My words they stay New life awaits This is the day

The Last Supper is a fascinating painting and significant moment in the Jesus journey to the cross. I do appreciate you Kim thank you. Blessings S:) x

Yes, 1992 years ago the ultimate sacrifice was made in behalf of mankind. Sadly, so few truly understand and appreciate the significance. If they did, this would be a much different world. Nice rhymes Sam
