You've put a personal touch on the crucifixion of Jesus in this poem. Note: Line 7 has an extra 'that' -- 'I'm just a face that (mocks the Lord). Also, 'He (sang) redemption's song.' I like the picture of forgiveness you've painted in this poem. Blessings. Carol

A life to live, a path to follow. A cross to bear, we face death daily, not knowing when is the day. Rejoice Jesus will be back again and again. My words. My poem.
The Spirit Inside
The sky is your father,
The earth is your mother,
Share the mystery of giving,
The Father and Son to listen and learn,
The Spirit tells you.

I have been at the death bed side of many friends and each one of them were devoted to God. I would be heart broken to see a friend reject God at deaths door. Well written Roy.

Another poem expresses your Christian faith and what it means to be a Christian. I liked the first stanza the best as it sums up nicely the theme of the poem.

Couldn't give this any less than six. The message is clear. Forgiveness is out there. We simply must seek it. I'm not sure this is possible, but your writing seems to get better and better. After reading your poetry, I start to reflect. You really do make me think and I appreciate that.

Thank you Roy for this truthful account of the crucifixion and the notes with the biblical description that so many people ignore nowadays. I enjoyed it and it built my faith as I read!
