Notes About The Poem

What

What species was the tree
He grew to be
The roughhewed, splintered 
Old rugged cross 

What pain He went through
For me
Because His love was true
For you and the whole world too

He grew the plant
That they did implant
Upon His lovely brow
For my sins of rejection and desires 
So imperfect 
His brow now scared 
From those pointed briers
Which pierced so deep and hard

Valsa George January 24, 2025 at 4:31 AM When we think of the persecution and humiliation He suffered for us, our hearts sob. Yet we continue to persecute him through our sins. A touching poem, dear Sara. Sara Kendrick January 24, 2025 at 9:24 AM I agree, Valsa. We tend to forget in the spontaneity of the alure in that moment in time. Thanks for dropping by. I appreciate the wonderful review. Sara K
