I am linking up for the Five Minute Friday. The FMF is hosted by Kate Motaung over at our Five Minute Friday website. Today’s word prompt is “offer.” We would love to have you join us.
A crown of thorns
upon his head
Nails driven
Unto his hands
Blood spilled out.
Last words spoken
Father, forgive them,
For they know not
What they are doing.
Last breath taken
On that dark dreary Friday night
Then sheer utter silence.
Tears falling from Mary’s face
Her son no longer alive
Laid in a tomb
His life given for all.
Three days later
The first women preachers
Come to the tomb
And find it empty,
Where is our Lord?, they ask.
The grave has been overcome
Death has been defeated
God’s greatest offering!
Beautiful!
Thanks!
The greatest offering I can give
is defiance in the face
of that which will not see me live
beyond its lethal embrace.
Cancer wants to hew me down,
make me beg for drugged relief
that makes me wear a hazy crown
and a vague surcease.
But this is not what I was taught
and the lessons still remain.
No matter what the hurt you’ve brought,
it’s I who brings the pain.
My mentors, they have taught me well;
I’m coming back, straight outta hell.
Beautiful!
True, and well written. <3
Thank You, Paula!
