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.
