Wow, that was really great, Susie!
I love the truncated poetic style .. Max Lucado did that with Gethsemane through the crucifixion in one of his early books. Just one and two word sentences. Very powerful .. this reminded me of that ..
Thanks for the blessing!

SWEET piece... could be acted out, like the "endless love" sketch... would love to hear you read it as worship...
