11/29 Tri-Quatrain: Back-Handed Friendship

Published by

With my compliments

Luke 22:32: But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith will not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.

What kind of friend
Will help me to mend
The cruelest of lies
When Him I denies

The One whose own back
Is scarred with each track
Of stripes that can heal
The shame that I feel

Lord give me Your hand
So I understand
The holes in Your palm
Become my true balm

Today I will be
Irrevocably joined
By nails through hands
