Good Friday Poem, is a poem about the crucifixion of Jesus on Good Friday. The Poem is named “A Walk to Remember” and is featured in my second poetry book entitled: Poetry for Thought 2: A Journey Within. In this video my wife reads the poem to remind everyone about the true meaning of Easter and why it is among one of the most blessed holidays. We look at the sacrifice Jesus made for everyone around the world to have a hope and chance at having a home in heaven once we die. If you would like to put God first this Easter, then please join us in this video. If you feel grateful and humbled by the sacrifice Jesus made for us, please tell me about it in the comments.
