One of my poems on a Poem for Easter page!

Kimberly Blackader has included one of my poems on her Poetry for Easter page.
I've put another Easter poem on my Drabble page.
And here's a poem I wrote earlier this week, to go with this picture of the cross from church--a cross that changes from gray and lifeless at the start of the service to a symbol of beauty and hope.

This day you will be with me, the Savior said

To the stranger at his side

Together they died.

In Paradise the angels sang for joy

And we wondered why.

I’m guilty said the thief, you’re innocent.

This day you will be with me

In Paradise.

The day I die I hope the angels sing

With joy for me.

The ones who had betrayed him fled and cried

The one to kill himself.

This day you will

Be forgiven the Savior said, the other survived

To Paradise.

So I who have betrayed him, I who live

While savior dies for me

I will survive

This day I will be with him in Paradise

The day I die.

So I who weep tonight, deserving ill

Am rescued still by him

Who died for me.

So I and all who see him can be saved

This day we will.
