Stripped Angel

Author's Note: Just a thought that crossed my mind this week.


"How could You do this to me?"

I hear her scream in anger to the vaults of the skies.

My heart bleeds as I feel her sorrow

Heart wrenching sobs echo in My ears.

"All I wanted was for him to have a normal life

To settle down with children and a wife

Instead You killed my son!"

She screams at the silent heaven.

"He went about healing sick folk and doing good

Caring for the ones no one would;

And just when all was going well,

The Romans sent him to gloomy Sheol," she yelled,

Knowing that I could hear her in the other plane where I dwelled.

"Woman, you forget," I whispered, tears falling down to the earth below.

As the gentle rain cascaded, she heard My reply in her heart grown cold,

"He, too, was My Son."
