And He Smiled

He was a little boy
He was a special little boy
He knew more than the know-it-alls could ever know
His name would be remembered all throughout time
Sworn by some
Cursed by others
He knew this
His friends didn't
They admired him too much to see his downfall
He knew of this too
His love was infinite
I do love him
He was here to save us
Which is why it pains me to hear people say they don't believe in him
Or that they need to see to believe
Without faith we'd all be saying that
They are truly selfish people
You killed our savior and now you want to know why the world is such shit
Take one minute's thought and you will find your answers
Let me explain to you his love for the unbelievers out there
The tree he carried on his back weighed more than he could carry
But he carried it for you
The pain he endured was more than enough to kill him
But he endured as long as he could for you
As he was beaten by his once friends
He felt great sadness and peace
As he was nailed to his cross
He reminded himself that he was doing it for you
To keep himself conscious
As they broke his legs
He remembered the good that was done in his lifetime
In his final hour he did what none of your other friends would do for you
He asked his father a great favor
Even after the beatings, the torture, and the sadness,
He said to the Father
"Father forgive them for they know not what they do."
He said this and smiled before he died
I would too
It truly is comical
We are given the greatest gift ever
And we destroy it
God have mercy on us all
Happy Easter.
