I hope you and your family had a Happy Easter. In keeping with my blog’s tradition, I will be posting a poem by my dad, Robert Appel, his pen name was Rockman.
“Listen to me for I tell you the truth.
This very night, before the cock crows, you will deny me three times.”
Matthew 26:34
Dear Jesus
In Joseph’s lovely garden
I come to pray to Thee.
I come to beg Thy pardon
Oh Lamb of Calvary.
Afraid and cast about
three times I did deny thee.
Now my broken heart cries out
Oh God forgive me.
As I pray here
grief stricken in thy earthly garden.
I feel thy presence ever near
Oh Son now risen.
After three days darkness
the Light of heaven did shine
Healing my heart with Thy forgiveness
Oh perfect Light divine.
Amen
