The Greatest Winner
The Tuesday prompt over at dVerse Poets Pub today is to write a poem about winners or losers, or both. Mary noted these attributes of winners from an article she read (and linked to): “Winners are driven, winners take responsibility, winners are eager to learn, winners are positive thinkers, winners are humble.” These attributes reminded me of the greatest winner in all of history and so decided to write a poem about him using these attributes as my guide.
The Greatest Winner
The greatest winner in all history
was executed for crimes
He did not commit
Yet He was driven
by love and by grace
to take the punishment for all
He was not responsible
for our great sinfulness
but took responsibility nonetheless
Though He knew everything
since He was God, still
He longed to learn what others knew
He had the positive thinking
of a man of great faith and power
calming storms and healing the sick
But despite His greatness and majesty
He humbled Himself for our sake
was gentle like a Lamb to the slaughter

wow, such a graceful and powerful write – please have my respect!
Thanks for stopping by and leaving such an encouraging comment. I find that when I write for God, it is powerful because He is powerful. It is a blessing and honor to be able to do so. Peace, Linda
You are quite right.
A true example of a hero.. where love is greater than self….and self is love as well..:)
Powerful! and breath-taking.
Amen!
winner or loser…he loves us all the same…and died for each of us….
Thankful for His love and grace this advent season!
