I'd always see your body Hanging on the cross So frail and weak And I couldn't bear to throw anymore of my burdens on your sufferings. I wanted to show you I could do it on my own I wanted to make you proud I wanted to be strong... Now I realize that you weren't hanging You were lifting, Holding up the cross. You weren't hanging on it, It was hanging on you. Your feet on solid ground And the cross in the air The cross was in the ground, so You were holding up the world, With only hands and feet, And Earth was frail and weak, Held together only by 3 nails And your blood. Now I know I can't do it on my own I want to let you do it for me I don't even want to be... unless it's in you. I want to be weak |

WOW!!! Excellent!!! Gave me shivers to read this. And very true. Never seen a poem written quite the way you did and never saw it as Jesus holding the cross up, the world up and so on until your poem, and I have close to 800 of my own poems. If you are new here, keep submitting for you are a truly blessed poet. Sheri Adams Jesus lives in my heart! He can in yours too!!! |

Indeed a fabulous entry into these blue walls. It is a pleasure to welcome you. You're concept is over the top to me in its depth. I can't say enough how much your writing has touched me. Thank you.  If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, |

pdian8 I just re-read your poem and it is just how I feel sometimes. To let go and let God is hard sometimes. That's when we know he is there when we are weak and we have to rely on his Grace to hold us up. |

I've read this poem before and it never ceases to amaze me how much insight you must have in your walk with God. There is a lot of wisdom in your words and I hope to see more of your work and more of this kind of wisdom in it. Well done. Sheri Adams Jesus lives in my heart! He can in yours too!!! |
