Father Forgive Them

The Last Lullaby

“Akiane: My Dream Is Bigger Than I”
Before the light ties up the dark
the time is born
inside the womb of heaven.
The mountain cannot hold the weight of the cross
full of humanity’s wrinkles.
The shut silence turns over
the love of the last lullaby.
An hour of demise knocks from above
sealing the journey of sacrifice.
As the desert carries away
the ripened scent of the sins
Jesus hangs on his own planted tree

Luke 23:34 captures Jesus’s plea during His crucifixion, where He asks God to forgive those responsible for His suffering, saying, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” This verse reflects Jesus’s compassion, mercy, and willingness to forgive even in the face of injustice and pain. It emphasizes the theme of unconditional forgiveness and highlights the ignorance of those who crucified Him.
