Peter, once frightened.

Haiku for witnesses


Peter, once frightened,

no longer fearing to die.

stood before the crowd.


I speak of Jesus,

who came among us with signs

he was sent from God.


You ignored his words

and killed him. But it goes on:

God raised him to life.


Full of life and love;

why should we be surprised that 

death could not hold him?


He was crucified;

now God has raised him from death.

We are witnesses.
