The Friday of Jesus’ death was dark and disappointing for mankind. We have experienced some dark “Fridays” here in Hampton County. Faith is the cornerstone of the poem and I think that is why the poem resonates with me. Hampton County must have faith for us to move forward from the dark pall cast over the County presently.
