I found this poem on Tumblr, but no one seems to know who actually wrote it:

Lo, there He hangs –
Ashen figure pinioned against the wood.
God grant that I might love Him
Even as I should.

I draw a little closer
To feel His love divine,
And hear Him gently whisper
“Ah, precious child of mine –

If now I would embrace you,
My hands would stain you red.
And if I leaned to whisper,
My thorns would pierce your head.”

‘Twas then I learned in sorrow
That love demands a price;
“Twas then I learned that suffering
Is but the kiss of Christ.

I'm praying for you!
