Jesus, the Beauty of Our Life
Jesus, the beauty of life like
the sweet glowworm in the
darkness to make the day at night.
Our Life Without Jesus Christ
The existence of life
without Jesus is
like a dried tree
Standing alone in the scorching sun
with the bare leaves.
This bare tree is called ‘Dead Tree.’
Christ’s Last Words are
like the children tear off the entrails
of their mother from the womb.
All think the entrails are the food
that can empower their soft muscles.
Mother knows her inevitable death.
Still she called them ‘dear innocent children.’
