Good Friday
Tired, alone, weary Dragging the heavy wooden cross
Jesus had been betrayed by his disciples
Chief priests placed a crown of thorns on his head
The guards played games for his clothes
Teasing and taunting him in every way.
They nailed him to the cross
As As the sky turned black, he cried out in despair
His mother Mary mourning his devastating death
They laid him in a tomb, alone but not forgotten.
