                    [037]  A MESSAGE FROM A POEM – CALVARY – GOLGOTHA’S SKULL
What does Calvary mean to you?  To most people it means nothing except a casual thought at Easter perhaps.
May we ask what does Calvary mean to a Christian?  Here the answers are many and most of them would be simplistic which is fine.

                    [106].  A MESSAGE FROM A POEM – GOLGOTHA – WITH JESUS IN THE MIDST Easter Poem
This poem is an Easter poem constructed around the events played out at Golgotha.  I called it Golgotha (the place of the skull) and not Calvary in the title because of this reason –
The word Calvary occurs in the

This poem focuses on the Easter Story and covers the crucifixion and the resurrection.  Of course the story is not complete without the Lord coming again and the last stanza features that.  Each stanza deals with a different feature of the Saviour’s life that passion weekend.

And there is a flashback to his childhood when Mary picked him up after he had fallen, and he says to his mother, "I
