"Born To Die"

When God did speak His Holy Word,

and came here as His Son,

Jesus Christ was born, to die -

He was the Chosen One.

And look at what He did for me,

while friends surrounding slumbered -

His hands and feet so cruelly pierced,

His precious bones were numbered.

This time of year I try to dwell

upon the cross He bore -

three times His wounded Body fell

and yet He rose once more.

My Lord, My God, you did this all

to wash away my sins -

Please help me not myself to fall

as the end of Lent begins.

Ahhhhh, but when God closes a door, He always opens a window!!  Easter is just around the corner (the "window") a season of joyous miracles.  REJOICE!! HE IS RISEN!!  Happiness is where we find it - and the rain always comes before the rainbow.  A nice entry, Luddie.  Very beautiful.
Just me !
