My Good Friday Poem

2025 Good Friday Poem –

“I Am Thirsty“

by Tedd Pullano

Jesus

On the cross

Is thirsty

Love itself

Is on the cross

And is thirsty

But for what?

Maybe he thirsts 

For love to be shown to all?

His heart thirsts

For all to feel the love of the Creator

His soul thirsts

For all to know His love 

For them

He is the depth of love

Selfless love

And on the cross 

In pain and suffering,

With deep thirst for all to know his love,

He continues to live out love. 

In love, Jesus takes care of his mom

And his friend:

“Mom, here is your son.

My friend, ‘Here is your mother.”

Giving

Loving

Always giving and loving

Until he thirsts

After loving his mother and his friend, 

He speaks the truth he knows:

“I am thirsty”

And again, What is his thirst?

Its not for our wine

Or something to drink.

It is for us to know his love,

And for us to love one another

Always

Then, after hi s cry of thirst,

He drinks

Then he gives up his spirit

And he knows it is finished

And what is finished?

His teaching

His giving

The example of how to love

His love

Selfless love

He offered it

He taught it

He lived it

And now

His teaching. His example

Is finished.

Even as his Spirit goes

He continues to love

Because that is who he is

And that is what matters

Then

Now

Of course he is thirsty

But not his body

Not his mouth or throat

But his heart

His heart is thirsty

“Blessed are those who thirst – for the love i have lived”

You can quench his thirst

By receiving his love

And by 

Loving one another

As he have loved you
