A Recipe For Love

A picture of the scene at the Cross. Thank you for your sacrifice Lord.

A Recipe For Love
By P. Bradford Simmons


A pint of blood,
Some splintered wood,
Three rusty nails,
A purple hood,

A thorny crown
One sharpened spear,
Tree open hands,
A heart of fear,

A dripping sponge,
Some spoiled wine,
Pointing and jeers,
A “kick-me sign”

One thousand stares,
As cold as ice,
The recipe,
For sacrifice
