At A Conversation Between Mothers
His crucifixion brought the last relief
to my son's tortured lifestyle---hellion, thief,
maybe a murderer, past laws that guide
us; and his soul response, a shrugged "Oh well."
As we had long expected, Rome's wrath fell
upon him. Death would fling him into hell
that waited for him with its maul spread wide.
But miracles still happen (shocks surprise
us). My son, hanging there, prayed for Salvation;
and then your Son, hanging there, too, beside
him, said these words that turned him from damnation:
that he "shall be with me in Paradise."
Your Son, a Prophet; my son, worst and least
of men, has been absolved by God's High Priest.
