The mans robe was then cast into lots,
who forgave far more than he forgot.

"When you come to your place,
please remember my face."

Still His memory recalls us from naught.

Catchy, but you got me?!

Hey Hey, the Roman soldiers of the watch cast lots for Christ's seamless garment, his cloak, or robe; they divided his other garments, but did not wish to tear it. The couplet in quotation marks is the penitent thief speaking.

What a fascinating subject for a limerick! I think this is very creative and innovative. I realize it is serious, yet you use a traditionally comedic form in a very fresh and surprising way. This just shows what can be done with form. I do all sorts of odd things with the sonnet, heaven knows...

This is really something out of the ordinary; I find it refreshing. Now I have this song from Mass stuck in my head: "Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom." But I don't mind...

Well done, and thank you for this fascinating contribution.
