Poetry

When He hanged on that cross
eternity was caught in a moment
but His only fear was the separation
between Him and His Father and He longed
to be in heaven again;
a place without suffering or fear,
to see the glance of His Father
and that yearning was in His spirit.
When He took the burden of man upon Himself,
when His innocent blood did flow
He could call down a multitude of angels
but He did know
that in love He was accomplishing the ultimate sacrifice
when He brought back man into balance.
