Fear not! Follow Me!

Good Friday

“Crucify Him!” “Crucify Him! They chanted in vacant crowd-mob-“follower” unison.

Pontius Pilot acquiesced, literally washing his hands of the dilemma, delivering Christ.

Evil crowned the Lord; scourged His body, forced Him to carry a burden-Cross, nailed Him to it, demeaned His honor, mocked His reign offering vinegar, and finally, pierced His sacred heart.

At the hour of three past the noon time sun, the Son of God---Expired! Died for our sins!

Skies blackened as the Wrath of heaven descended upon the evil of their sin. Satan defeated!

Disciples and Mary, His mother, laid the body to rest in a borrowed tomb, secured by a stone.

Saints among us! Angels, too!

Tears I’ve shed for saints love-lost paid

Yet! Fear not! Follow Me! I’m not afraid

Though my list may be long, I love them still

Understanding not. Respect: Be done His will

Time-space relinquished when He names a call

Humble reminder: Upon thy knee voluntarily fall

That tiny seed of belief hold ever-handy

Pray! Judgment-Mercy may He hand me

Amen!

Rest in Peace! Loving departed:

(Respectful Greetings to thee! Say “Hello!” to Jesus for me)

Souls cleansed pure-white; spirits soaring-free---To wit:

Dear Dad, Poppy & Grandma, Granny & Granddaddy,

Kermit-dad, Edwin & Rose, Uncle Randell, Miss Lisa,

Grandpas-Martin, Ted with Grandmas-Catherine, Em,

Freddie & Lil, a surrogate-brother Michael-Mon Amie!

Warren & Ada, Ham & Ardell, Mr. Lee, a special one known to me,

Monte, Mate “Bobby” blood-etched on a cold marble-wall of Heroes!

Various nuns, some priests, several saints, a few angels, many more…

Myriad spirits I will always love, some who may have even loved me…

And, in thy time---live free

Within thy space---Loving be

Faith! Family! Freedom! See!

Amen!
