I really love your poem Gordon, and with Easter around the corner His Crucifixion for all salvation becomes a reality which unfortunately many of us only think of at Easter instead of every day of our lives - i love the quote you chose also Gordon - let us all feel humbled and blessed in Christ's name. Poetry hugs, Jennifer.
