I Had A Dream

Roselee Irvine


Last night I had a dream, I dreamed I was
Calvary!
I asked the Lord Jesus why would He
Die for me?
He said because of Love and that it was for
The world too!
Then tears fell from my face, His suffering
Broke my heart in two.

I ask Him why the tree made into a cross to
Suffer and die" why?"
'He said" my Child because it had to be to
Set you free! Don't cry!
I looked into His face, the smell of blood was
Oh! So strong!
I wanted to cry out! ‘Lord this all seems so
Very wrong!”

Words choked me; lost within my throat
Somewhere!
The sorrow too deep, to even cry out
In despair!
The time it took for Him to breath each
Gasping sigh.
Seemed to increase as the time slowly
Passed by.

I saw many who mocked, shouted and
Cursed my Lord on the tree!
I turned toward the crowd that gathered, and
Said, He's doing this for you and me!

Then suddenly I heard a loud gasp come from
My Saviors breath, He said these words for you!
Father forgive them they do not know what
They do.
But the story does not end! We celebrate
Not Easter, but Resurrection Day.
Our Lord died, but rose again from the tomb
Where He lay.

I woke and the tears still wet on my face
And pillow there.
They were tears of Joy replaced from
Tears of despair!
I know He will return just as He left; to
Prepare us a place where we’ll rest.
So the end of the Resurrection story
Is Loves Sweetest best!
