A Special Meal

I return to some events which could have happened in the last week of Jesus' life on this earth.


A Special Meal

By Larry Linville

 

My life was in shambles

collapsing

falling apart.

In desperation

I climbed a tall hill

and sat under a big tree

far away from the cruel world

awaiting the enlightenment

of the rays from the rising sun.

As I tried once more

to pray to God

another man joined me

in that remote place.

With much on his mind

he listened to me

and placed his own problems aside.

Soon my heavy load

left me floating in ecstasy.

A few days later

with Passover near

I saw him alone again.

In gratitude I offered him a gift

and he graciously accepted.

He told his followers

how to meet me

and I led them to a special room

where

I catered his Last Supper.

Your poetry graces all who read it [but, I think, especially me.] You take what we have known for all our life, and present it in a way that makes us feel like we were there.

God bless you. Kathy

The last line clinched it, a marvellous story (think illustrated book, Larry, the youngsters will love it)

Splendid is this tale of the last supper
Reviewed by Jerry Bolton (Reader) 3/7/2008
I can picture this. From one man's despair to another's awareness of what is to come, a momentous moment is recorded for centuries to mull over and shake their heads in amazement at the sacred supper . . . Done well . .
