Daily By The Bedside(A Lenten Reflection) Poem by Meggie Gultiano

Daily By The Bedside(A Lenten Reflection)

Rating: 5.0


I sat.....wide-gazed..
Life's possibilities....
Not without the Cross

Pinning me to earth notwithstanding
The joys, happiness
That must have been mine

This and that would have made life unbearable
If not for embracing the Cross
Befallen yet whole in spirit

Daily by the bedside
Immortalized by the man on the Cross
Nailed, crowned and crushed to death

Daily by the bedside
i die from sin, mistakes
Over acts only by your Cross
Was redeemed

True we must carry our cross daily and follow him. Though we stumble, as mortal man will and as Jesus fell, being in the flesh.

Very moving. If Christ had not come...there would be no candles in the darkness. Beautiful, Meggie. Your poems lift the spirit and soothe the heart. Write on. Love, Sandra

A good reminder. It helps to reflect on life everyday in meditation and prayer. Suffering has been one of the most difficult experiences to explain, understand, and especially accept. Only love can give it meaning and for many Christ has given us proof. But for many others there is no acceptable answer. Thanks for sharing.

I am always reminded of Christopher Robin kneeling in prayer when I read the words 'by the bedside' and some of the innocence and beauty of this imaginary boy comes across in your humbly penned lines of reflection and supplication. Although prayer has never been my choice of spiritual expression, I nonetheless understand perfectly where this piece is coming from. There are many doors into love and compassion. You have opened yours with grace. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
