Powerful Easter Poems

One Guy Didn't

Three guys were tried for crimes against humanity. Two guys committed crimes. One guy didn't. Three guys were given government trials. Two guys had fair trials. One guy didn't. Three guys were whipped and beaten. Two guys had it coming. One guy didn't. Three guys were given crosses to carry. Two guys earned their crosses. One guy didn't. Three guys were mocked and spit at along the way. Two guys cursed and spit back. One guy didn't. Three guys were nailed to crosses. Two guys deserved it. One guy didn't. Three guys agonized over their abandonment. Two guys had reason to be abandoned. One guy didn't. Three guys talked while hanging on their crosses. Two guys argued. One guy didn't. Three guys knew death was coming. Two guys resisted. One guy didn't. One. Two. Three guys died on three crosses. Three days later. Two guys remained in their graves. One guy didn't.

Jelly Bean Prayer

Little jelly beans Tell a story true. A tale of Father's love Just for me and you. GREEN is for the waving palms. YELLOW is for the sun above. BROWN is for the soft earth where People sat hearing of HIS love. A SPECKLED bean for fish and sand. RED for precious wine and BLACK is for the sin He washed From you soul and mine. PURPLE's for the sadness of HIS family and friends, and WHITE is for the glory of the Day HE rose again. Now that you've heard the story You know what each color means. The story of our Father's love Told by some jelly beans. So every morning take a bean They're really very yummy. Something for the soul, you see And something for the tummy.
