Peter Recalls

I watched, with hurt, my Savior leave
and in my pain could not believe
He claimed that I would dare deny
Him thrice before the cock would cry.
“I’m am not Judas,” I exclaimed,
“whose ill-bought kiss is now the blame.”
His name I would not dare defy -
this Lord they wished to crucify.

And so I followed to the hall
where mobs had gathered just to call
out condemnations on this man
who calmed the storm with just His hand.
“Do I know you?” a voice arose.
“You are with him. You’re one of those
disciples. One of his own men!”
“Your wrong.” I turned away and then
another came and said to me,
“weren’t you with him in Galilee?”
“That was not I, I can assure,
I’ve never seen this man before.”
Again, another voice rang out,
“You were with him!” I heard his shout.
“I know Him not. You’re wrong,” I said,
“this man with thorns around His head.”

But as those words escaped my mouth,
I heard a sound off to the south
that stilled the ticking of the clock -
the single crowing of a cock.
And so the scriptures were fulfilled;
they hung Him on a cross and killed
this man, this Savior, and my friend,
whom I denied right to the end.

I am nothing special...and my name will soon be forgotten,but I've loved another with all my heart and soul,and to me,this has always been enough.~N.S

As it is today...He is the only one that will never leave us or forsake us...for He was operating in unconditional love...James

Ruth,

You nailed that Peter guy good. It's good that Peter's cowardly experiences led him on to redeem himself. He remains the "Rock".

Took me forever to find it as I was in a hurry the other day, but sure glad I did find it and read it. You took a part ofthe scriptures and through your muse told a never ending story so well Ruth. Beautifully done.
