I don't understand.
How one who had never tasted the sting of death -
One who would never have to! -
(It wasn't written in his DNA!!!)
How such a one would take it on -
Willingly!
Like taking a shot of an incurable disease! -
In the belief that a new vaccine would work!!!
How did you do it?!
How did you submit to the obnoxious grasp
Of this thing called death???
When it wasn't a thing in your world????
Took on willingly,
This darkness we grapple with -
Just because it hurt your heart to watch our pain!!
Because you couldn't bear
To see us with no way through it!!
So you took that ugly pill -
As horrific as your course of death was!!
And bore it to its terrible conclusion.
And then beyond!
Because we could not.
Even though many would not understand -
Wouldn't see the cost to you.
A most perfect one - taking on the darkest of stains!
That will mark you forever
As one of us.
One who has borne with us, the sting of the grave.
We did not deserve you
Or this powerful gift you gave.
We still do not.
Your beautiful heart, alone, carries us beyond our cage.
Sweet Jesus -
I'll never understand how you did what you did.
But I'll adore you for it
Into forever.
