Can You?

A poem covering the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus.

Can You?
Ramblin' Rose

Can you hear the hands of soldiers

Falling on His face?

Can you feel the love of God,

Do you know His grace?

Can you hear the cracking whip

Falling on his back?

Can you see my Lord's bruises

Turning blue and black?

Can you hear the crowd calling

Saying "Crucify the Lord!"

Can you hear the cries of Jesus

As he fell to Roman sword?

Can you hear Jesus' voice

As on the cross He dwell?

Can you hear the cries of pain

Each time the hammer fell?

Can you hear the giant stone

Sealing up His grave?

Can you hear the cries of Mary

As there her dear Lord laid?

Can you hear the stone landing

After being cast away?

Can you hear the awestruck Thomas,

As his hands on Jesus lay?

Can you hear the believing voices

As they shout in victory?

Can you hear the voice of the Lamb

That died for you and me?

Can you hear the Roman Soldiers

Shocked by Jesus' life?

Can you hear the Jewish leaders

Slipping through their strife?

Can you see the Son and Lamb

At the right hand of God?

Can you hear the voice of Christians

As His lifted name they laud?

Can you hear the falling Romans

As they bow on bended knee?

Can you see the Lamb of God,

Who died for you and me?

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
