Happy Valentine’s Day! It is a day to celebrate love with flowers and candy and special gifts. I wrote a poem about the true meaning of love, found in Christ’s sacrifice. Student Leadership hopes you feel our Saviour’s love a bit closer today.
Doubly Red
Petal upon petal falls failing, year by year
Roses for passion in adoration offered
A love that braves the wilting flower
The twisted stem
Fingers pricked: doubly red
The bristle, the barb, the thorn to bear
The fond care of tender time and precious choice
A rosebush, lost of a rose, adorned in thorns
A holy circlet etched in pain
Doubly red: in blood, love, and offering
A rose and crucible silhouettes of flame
Crowned in thorns, coated in scarlet
Rosette delicate and sweet - wasted by time
Boundless Love nailed to hell
With beating heart and scarred, sacred hands: doubly red
