My Family Tree

Read to know, then become my family too.

 

My  Family  Tree

My  Family  tree didn't  start  with
Adam and Eve.
But on a rugged stony road that lead
to  Calvery.
The tree that began my family  was
jagged , rough where my Saviour  
layed his tired  mangled body upon
graciously to rest from  carring the
cross up  the hill  for you and me.
The nailer had never seen such dignity
as when Jesus laid there willingly.
A nail was placed upon his wrist
then  with  a blow it handcuffed
Jesus to  the tree.   
No more laughter was heard .
Even the nailer knew something was
diffrent as the blood sprayed upon
him the demons left the nailer immediataly
Something  at  that  moment happen 
to humanity as one by  one left the
hill  of Calvery.
Now you know about  my  family  tree.

This was an interesting concept. To take a moment from the crucifixion and zero in on it and it's possible consequences was a fabulous idea.

You have a few areas the could benefit from minor tweaks ... like :

"The nailer never seen such dignity
as Jesus laid there willingly."

I might have written this as :

"The nailer had never seen such dignity
as when Jesus laid there willingly."

These are all things that are easily fixed. And you will have a wonderful finished product.

loved it loved it loved it! such deep meaning (and more than one) . this play on words invokes a sense of both pride and guilt for being washed in the blood and the crucifiction of our God's only begotten son. We are ALL children of God and this is CERTAINLY our family tree w/o a doubt. yay!
