I liked this very much. Your interpretation is heartfelt, in both colour and emotion.
A lovely depiction of a scene played countless times within all walks of life and through all ages, but one remains above all.
Well done,
best wishes,

Hi W J,
This is really well written through the eyes of God being the parent and watching his son suffer. You told the story in a very unique way.
Well done.

Comment from Acquired Taste
Beautiful flow of words in your poem. As a parent that has lost a child I cannot understand how God did not destroy everything that day. I know Jesus died for us - however, if listening to his cry - Father Father why have you forsaken me - am thinking this mortal soul would have pushed the button.
Still, the last line of your poem: When loved ones grieve, it rends the heart - is heart wrenching for so many of us!

Thank you for the kind words about the writing, AT. I have often wondered how the Father felt that day, even knowing it was for the best in the scheme of things. I know it would take someone far stronger than me to resist stepping in. I appreciate your insights on the subject. I am sorry to hear of your loss. Children are so precious.

I have often wondered about that verse. I think it was the human part of Jesus showing. He knew what his fate was long before that moment. Your poem is perfectly written. I wish I had a six for it. Great job.

Comment from Magpiemazy.
You put forth an area of the crucifixion seldom put forth. Yes, the Heavenly Father grew angry over His Son's death and that is shown by the darkness and destruction of the area by earthquake. Tremendous emotion comes through in this poem. Hugs, Maggie

Comment from Louise Michelle
Hi Debi,
I love how you put yourself in God's position, contemplating how He must have felt. As mothers, we want our children to always be happy, but know they have to learn difficult lessons to grow wise and strong.
Hugs,
Lou

Comment from mfowler
I think that as parents and Christians, we must have contemplated this relationship at this very time in the life and death of Jesus. I like how you've pondered over the Father's reaction: He must have wept to hear that cry,
"You have forsaken me. Oh, why?" It feels very authentic and along with all of the verses, illuminates the msytery and impact of the Passion. Well done!

The reports of Jesus' death is far from being conclusive. This is very well written with a smooth flow of words, making for a very good read.

This is a hauntingly and beautifully written swap quatrain, your words are wonderfully expressed in this very difficult type of poem that flows as coolly as a mountain stream.

Comment from OLA THOMAS
This is a deep thought spiritual poem. Revisiting the agony of Christ on the cross at Calvary. No parent will ever turn away from the agony of his child. Wonderful rendition.
