Cubby’s Poetry Prompt Challenge: Hero
A hero is born not from the laurels
Of glory but from…
Finish the poem.
A hero is born not from the laurels
of glory but from the Spirit
conceived in one woman’s womb
for the salvation of a fallen world
~ * ~
Born to suffer sorrows and pain
for all of humanity’s transgressions
yet He was despised and not esteemed
He was oppressed and He was afflicted
~ * ~
Yes, this Hero was born to suffer and die
although many would come to believe in Him
but not lay down their lives for Him
to truly love Him more than themselves
~ * ~
Yet this Hero died for us all anyway
and endured the greatest pain ever known
for out of this greatest pain is birthed
the greatest Love of all for broken mankind.
~ * ~
Let us all love others as this Hero has loved us!
