Last supper

 

Tonight was our last dinner

a bittersweet paradox

considering my feelings for her

it was like celebrating chickenpox.

 

It was the best thing I never wanted to do

God’s perfect will is not always easy

I say goodbye to one relationship & embrace something new

I pray that God’s love will appease me

 

Then I think of a similar event

A supper of bread and wine

And a similar decision, that allows us to repent

And makes His kingdom mine

 

And as I cry, I think of a man of the Jewish race

Who asked God if there was another way

With a tear in His eye and a smile on His face

He left His will behind, said “Father, I’ll do what you say.”

 

His last supper is my greatest blessing

With peace and love Christ accepted the call

Our last supper was…a blossoming,

a loosening of the petals, so that our seed might fall.
