My Jesus...
I sketch you in my mind
up there on that cross
a mixture of sorrow and joy
floods my mind each time
I redraw you in my thoughts
a somber sky hung overhead
like an ill-fated omen
just as you hung on the cross
a bitter-sweet promise
colored crimson by the blood
the same blood which blots out
my transgressions, covered you
lightning split the grey canvas
of the skies and the world paused
as you, my Jesus, My saviour, My Lord
looked up to the heavens and said,
"It is finished" then in tragic majesty
your head slumped down to rest
upon his chest. I relive this moment
a thousands times in my mind
because I can not forget what you
have done for me, without it, I am
nothing, I am dead, I am ignorant
My Jesus, I sketch you in my mind
because I need you more than
ever before.

There is nothing more loving than laying your life down for a brother...I could almost hear these words from this write...Beautiful. I am the same. It's as if he is on my mind all the time. I can relate. It's not a conscious effort..it's just like a lingering presence I think. Thanks for the reminder though. This was heartbreaking, and it does that to me everytime I think of the horrible things that were done to him, but he willfully died for us all. Just amazes me!!!!

(big hugggssssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, I too always re-enact that scene in my mind and though I cry each time of the pain and suffering He never deserved, I also thank Him with all my heart and take to heart knowing He lives on in all our blood! (wipes tears) This is most wonderfully drawn, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Paragon, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
