There you lie
helplessly hanging
dying and thirsty
Behind you
a sea of guilt
Not your own
but it has become yours
Not by your hand
but by that of your Father

Sue, it really is amazing how you can put so many thoughts to ponder in so few words. Even though I thought of Jesus on the cross and bearing the sin and guilt of the whole world, I also had another thought from these lines.......

Behind you
a sea of guilt
Not your own
but it has become yours


Sometimes when something horrible happens to someone a person loves, they feel the guilt...not because they themselves did it, but because they question themselves, wondering what in the world they could have done to prevent the horrible things from happening.

Well, that may not make sense to anyone but me. But, I think you will probably know what I'm trying to say, Littleone.  
Thank you for being you.

As said before by others, GREAT insight. I could see so many clear images in my head while reading this... The few words stated really got me thinking without being drowned by more, I wish I could write like that!

I think religious subjects are very difficult to do without sounding "churchy" or servile, but you did a lovely job on this portrayal of 3 o'clock on a fateful Friday.  Ken

(big hugggssssss) And I think it is sad that He has to deal with too much blame on Him when it truly is no one's at all and it is up to us all in our determination to make the ocean seem turquoise and the rain have a crystal semblance to it! (kiss on cheek) God Bless You, sweet friend, let us look to Him for guidance, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sue, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
