THOUGHTS ON GOOD FRIDAY...

GOOD FRIDAY

This is a solemn, wondrous day.

This day I heard Him say

"For YOU I hung there those hours three

And of what have you given ME?"

I sit in the church listening, and I nod...

Knowing that the crucified One is God.

My simple life of simple ease

Has not been lived to please

God.  Rather for me to feel good

Has been my goal.  I  surely do

Seek pardon of those whom I've offended,

And from then on,  begin life anew...amended. 

For the way I see it, most all of my slips

Are in the realm of human relationships.

I can make an argument out of thin air

And blame you, so unjustly and unfair.

But at the end of the day

Is when I hear God say,

"What have you done for ME?

While I was hanging from that tree?"

 God continues, "Wake up and SEE!

It is where I am--always am,

Inside every Samantha and Sam.

Every Peep you meet and greet

It is ME standing on those feet."

And so when you express love for one of these

A spark is released, which ignites and frees

That one, to make a selection

Be part of that wonderful connection.

For we are, well, yes...

All one with the Father, 

And the Spirit and Son.

And with us, all of nature

In it's springtime splendidness

Has arrived, and with us adored

Our own Creator, Lord!

...and SOBER today.  How's THAT?
