Two pieces of
wood carved
from nature's
leafy giant. F
ormed togeth
er to create t
he symbol kn
own worldwide. Son of God was nailed,
hands and feet, to this towering totem. Hi
s blood dripped for us. The tears he crie
d, his face distorted in agony, for us. Th
ose who watc
ched on that fa
teful day shiel
ded their teary
eyes and plead
ed for the tortu
rers to stop. Wh
ipped, bruised, a
nd scarred, He di
ed uttering 3 wor
ds: "It is finished."

This was a visual poem so it is supposed to look like a cross but since I couldn't center it when I submitted it, it looks like half a cross. My apologies for that. I am a Christian and I have loved expressing what God has done for us and how much He loves us through my poems. Hope you enjoy it!
