VIA DOLOROSA
GOD
THE STRENGTH TO GO
THESE LAST FEW STEPS
OFTEN HAVE I DREADED EACH FORWARD STEP
KNOWING IT MEANT
I CAME THAT MUCH CLOSER
TO HIS DEATH
SOMETIMES THE FEAR WELLED UP IN HIM
I REMEMBER WHEN HE WAS SIX
HE LAY SLEEPING IN THE GARDEN
JOSEPH CAME HOLDING HAMMER AND NAILS
AND WOKE HIM SAYING
SLEEPING CURLY HEAD
I THOUGHT WE BARGAINED
A PIGGY BACK FOR A BASKET OF SHAVINGS
BUT JESUS WOKE SUDDENLY
AND CRIED NOT YET
NOT YET
THEN RAN TO ME
MOMMY
MOMMY
HIDE ME
THE FEAR WELLED UP IN HIM AT TIMES
AND SINCE I'M MUCH WEAKER THAN HE
HELP ME TO WALK
THESE LAST FEW STEPS
TO CALVARY
