Palm Sunday 2011

Here is a poem written in 1958, published in Soundings.
SCENE AT GOLGOTHA


His eyes were a fountain of sorrow

Bent on His mother below Him in blue.

His voice, so compassionate, pleading, spoke,

"Father forgive them; they know not what they do."


And I wept from the depths of my heathen soul,

For I knew Him to be Christ, the Lord.

And I prayed that someday he'd forgive my misdeed,

For 'twas I pierced His side with my sword.
