Tears from a hill
by Walter Jones (Age: 63)
copyright 05-25-2003


Age Rating: 16 to 127

 
Three of us were hanging
on crosses on a hill
one of us is hanging still

I was the winner of the local race
his loss was written in the tears
on his face

Pity me the winner
I gave him a special hug
and promptly went back
to drink from my jug

Three of us were hanging
on crosses on the hill
I am the one
who is hanging still

My wife is in the bedroom
she is with my best freind
this will be
her end

Pity him the winner
I walked away
poor guy has to live
with her each day

Three of us were hanging
on crosses on the hill
the weakest is hanging still

It is Sunday
the choir is singing low
the preacher is talking about the place
I am sure to go

See the pillow
where I lay my head
stains of blood
but I am not dead

Three of us were hanging
on crosses on the hill
Christ forgives me
but I am hanging still

When you read your prayer book
look deep inside
from your sins do not hide

When you ask for mercy
take what he will give
and pray that in his house
you will live

Pride and anger
haunt me
I bought
paid for
this tree

NOW

from this cross
I will
never
be set
free

Quite a poem, Walter. Phrases that ring like an iron bell. I personally do not see the need for such large spacing between the lines, but the words will continue to echo in my head for some time to come.
