Peter’s Soliloquy Lord, You cannot go away // Without knowing that I love You-//I am sorry.// This burden of guilt// Will be harder to bear// Because You did not hear// My words-I love You -I am sorry.// Three times I denied You,//The crowing of the cock // Has engraved the words in my memory.// But Lord, I am sorry.//This You will never know,// And this is my burden. //Lord, somehow, I think You know that I love You.// (Post resurrection )—–Simon Peter, Do you love Me? Jesus asked three times.// Peter answered three times—Lord, You know that I love You. (This was counselling at its best; healing at its best.)
