An Easter Poem

He was known as a carpenter but he was so much more than that

Took his place on next to his father’s throne where he sat

Ministered to man from wherever he was at

God’s son who when crucified it was upon him that they spat,

Healing the sick, the crippled, and the blind

Leading them through forgiveness he allowed them to find

Teaching mercy to a troubled mankind

Liberating us from the chains that bind,

A ministry lasting only three and a half years

Despite all his disciples fears

Love and forgiveness he made quite clear

He came as our savior so that we could dry our tears,

Reciting biblical prophecy without writing a word

Clarifying the truth when the lines were blurred

Words of hope he offered never before heard

Praying to God whenever he needed to confer,

On this very day he arose from the dead

Never contradicting anything he ever said

With his love removing all doubt and dread

A new life for all the believers that he led,

Inspiring the world to seek peace

So that all evil and violence would cease

Listen to his words and you’ll be released

Defeating death when they thought he was deceased,

But human nature is too hard to overcome

It always ends up a negative sum

Satan is always beating the evil drum

Thankfully for us our messiah has come!
