Love Will Defeat!
(Quatrain style each line with 6 syllables)

Has he carried the cross,On His back up the street,
He passed the friends He loved, With eyes that wouldn’t meet!
Ashamed because they knew, They had betrayed Him so,
At His time of great need, They didn’t want to know!

~~~*^V^*~~~

Then at top of the hill, The heavy cross was laid,
Down on the ground where then, His body was displayed!
Arms outstretched on the cross, With His feet down the stem,
Nails then were hammered in, With no protest from them!



But He knew their terror, A material one,
That hearts would be sorry after the deed was done!
Has He hung on the cross, He understood their shame,
Then with His loving heart, He forgave without blame!



To show us that loving, is truly forgiving,
Material misdeeds done through earthly living!
He knows here on this Earth, the temptations we meet,
He showed by forgiving, Love will always defeat!

(Haiku)

As his waters flow,
So does love he sends to grow,
Nurture it within!

(Nonet)

Then when your heart is full of His love,
With confidence like Him above,
Let his words like water flow,
Showering all you know!
With truth from above,
Explain His love
Is always
There for
All!

“*^V^*”

(Quatrain)


The ship I saw sailing on the blue,
Was full of many people that I knew,
My Mother, Father, brothers and then,
Grandparents and more from way back when!

~~~*^V^*~~~

The ship was on a journey searching for more,
I hoped it might be me as I stood on the shore,
But then I saw a great wisp of a cloud,
Cover the ship and with it the crowd!



While in the cloud the ship then turned course,
To sail away in the blue with much force,
I just stood and waved with tears in eye,
They all waved back for they heard my cry!

~~~*^V^*~~~

Then I heard Granddad standing on deck.
Telling all, to keep themselves in check,
I saw Dad comfort Mam guessed he said,
“It’s not time yet Pat must stay in bed”

~~~*^V^*~~~

Then as the ship sailed off out in the blue,
They waved Granddad shouted “We love you!
We’ll sail here again don’t be afraid,
Next time it will be when your ticket is paid!

~~~*^V^*~~~

Till then wake up and enjoy your life,
The illness is past that caused you strife,
Enjoy your life with your family there,
To show life is best when love you share.”

~~~*^V^*~~~

The ship sailed then o’er the horizon blue,
They waved, my eyes opened, I came to,
To see my children standing by me,
Smiling with joy, so lovingly!


 
So happy am I,  that I now have a glow,
For best of both worlds is mine I know,
I’ve the love of children here on Earth,
Plus Parents in that land of Heavenly worth!

~~~*^V^*~~~*^V^*~~~*^V^*~~~
