"My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" Mark 15:34 King James Version

One day I was at a school sporting event. A man I knew asked if he could hide behind me. His son was in the competition. He did not want his child to know he was there. He didn't want to distract the child in any way so he could put his full effort into the event. But the father couldn't stay away. He wanted to be there and see how his son did, silently lending his support.

I recalled other times I have seen wise parents take a step back and let a child struggle with something so they could win the victory on their own. I think the parent often suffers more than the child in some cases.

It made me wonder what The Father felt during the Crucifixion of Jesus. Part of the process was The Father removing His Spirit and leaving Christ to feel abandoned. This poem was the result of contemplating how The Father felt in that moment.
