The Folded Napkin

The Folded Napkin

A Poem by Melinda McQueen
"

Easter poem.

"

In Hebrew days

A disheveled napkin in a plate

Signaled that the master had finished,

And the servant would collect the dish.

 

However, if the napkin was folded,

His return would be noted.

 

Jesus paid the price at Calvary

When He died to set us free.

The most perfect Servant and Word

To the most perfect Master and Lord.

 

Obedient to the cross

At all cost.

Giving up the ghost,

Hope rose.

 

On the third day,

Nothing but His clothes did lay

In His place,  

As well as the folded cloth which had covered His face. (John 20:7)

 

Quite a sign

From the great Divine.

For He’s coming back again,

Hence, the folded napkin.

Now, what is a better guarantee than that! I never new that little fact. And I am glad that I know of it now. These are the little sureties that make our like icing on the cake. But, in God, I have no doubt about our Lord.

A beautiful poem with a story and lesson.
"On the third day,

Yes, and from what I understand his outer garments were folded also, noting He was returning. I just pray that every soul on this earth will be ready for His returning. Valentine

I like how you weaved a custom in with the story of Easter. Very inventive and so well composed to incorporate the whole within a napkin of poetry.
Love this uniqueness
