GOOD FRIDAY

As I watched him…..
     bleeding and dying
          on the cross

I cried out in anguish
     “Why, Lord, 
          why did you endure
               such pain and agony?”

He looked at me 
     and said
          in a whispered voice

BECAUSE I LOVE YOU

then he bowed his head.....
     and died.
