Poem: Silent Tears (II)

Have you envisioned
     our Lord upon The Cross?
Have you seen
     those considered lost?

Did you notice
     the absence of Grace?
Did you observe
     tears staining His face?

Can you imagine
     the agony of His pain?
Have you accepted the Gift
     of the Lamb that was slain?

On that day of crucifixion
     Love was brokenhearted
and divine reconciliation
     was quietly started.

Christ mourned the souls
     who chose the path of rejection
and was sadden by their ignorance
     of His personally offered Salvation.

Days before Resurrection Sunday
     the silent tears of Christ fell,
having glimpsed the future in which...
     numerous souls were separated by hell.
