THE PRICE OF LOVE

Love hurts

author
Wilford Barker
THE PRICE OF LOVE

My cross I boreΒ 
As each man must

My back laid bareΒ 
For sins curseΒ 

The volume of my lifeΒ 
Slipped awayΒ 
With the first lash

But I never forgotΒ 
The power of forgivenessΒ 

And the depthsΒ 
Of God’s love.

Thank you so much for your comment POETESSDARKLY.
I know that this type of expression is not readily accepted on this platform..
But every so often.. I must empty my heart.
