Through My Eyes - Visitor's Poem

by Jamie J. Robinson
(Syracuse, NY, USA)

The day I was born would change everything

Something is so peaceful inside me, my soul sings

I began to teach, I started to figure out who I was

Wrapped in light I was sent from God above

I knew I came from heaven but what I saw I cannot remember

I can still smell the hay and feel the cold of December

As I grew older my hands became full of power

The sick I would heal and the demons were devoured

The wedding of Canaan was such a glorious celebration

God performed a miracle through me that bled inspiration

I made many friends 12 of them stuck by my side

One betrayed me and helped to bring forth the day I died

My body and blood I gave to them as we dined at the table

Peter, I loved him so much, but to stand up for me he was not able

That’s okay, I have forgiven him and he brought my father glory

Women, men, and children, shouting my name they love and adore me

My people laid out palms, not long after that the soldiers were spreading my arms

I forgave, and I was judged

I preached and I was ridiculed

Before I left I promised my spirit into you

Every lash of the whip felt like each sin in every man's heart

The guilt and their sadness tore my flesh apart

Why am I not dead yet!!!! Is what I thought to myself?

My mother weeps as she looks on because she cannot help

They nailed me to that wood so tight my fingertips became numb

I wonder when will it be over, when will it be done

The sorrow of man came over me and drenched my soul

I screamed "Father why have you forsaken me!!!" I had no control

In my heart I knew that all sins had to be diminished

To the sky I looked up and shouted "It is Finished!!!!"

Oh yes I felt free, I was freed from all things that my people still go through

The times have changed but I am still with you

I was resurrected and sit to the right of my father

I hear you all, when my body gathers together I receive the honor

My crown of thorns that pierced my scalp

Turned into a crown of gold that you won’t see me without

Please keep believing, let my spirit keep you intact

Continue to say my name because I hear you

Know that I love you dearly, and one day I’ll be back


Sincerely Yours,
The Prince of Peace
