What a wonderful act of love for mankind. The amazing thing is, that he knew exactly what was coming when he endured the Agony in the Garden. This garden was far removed from Adam and Eve's, yet so intimately connected.

This is a painting that I did when I was 10 years old. It is a Paint by Numbers activity, done on black felt. It has became a Family heirloom.

This is a Terza Rima Sonnet.
A Terza rima is a rhyming verse stanza form that consists of an interlocking three-line rhyme scheme. It was first used by the Italian poet Dante Alighieri, who wrote The Inferno. The literal translation of terza rima from Italian is 'third rhyme'. Terza rima is a three-line stanza using chain rhyme in the pattern A-B-A, B-C-B, C-D-C, D-E-D. There is no limit to the number of lines, but poems or sections of poems written in terza rima end with either a single line or couplet repeating the rhyme of the middle line of the final tercet. The two possible endings for the example above are d-e-d, e or d-e-d, e-e. There is no set rhythm for terza rima, but in English, iambic pentameter is generally preferred. So, a Terza Rima Sonnet combines that rhyme pattern in 4 stanzas of 3 lines each, using the couplet option to create the signature 14 lines of a Sonnet.
