Sadness is often the appropriate response to
Broken things.
Jesus wept at a friend’s passing
And, if they were around at the time,
No one would have called the men in the white coats,
Concerned over Jesus’s inappropriate
Display of emotion,
Though they might have called professionals
To fill in a lack of mourners
In the event no one cried.
Thankfully Jesus was not depressed
Over the sad affair
And did not refuse to rise from his mat
Or talk to any of his disciples,
Let alone brush his hair, get dressed,
And walk all the way to Bethany
To raise Lazarus from the dead
When he was only
Going to die again anyway.
