Written Mother’s day 2009
What thoughts that day…went through your mind?
Sweet gentle lady; born one of a kind,
Unique child of God, unlike non other;
Virgin birthed Christ; His earthly mother.
Within you the mysteries, of God did unwind;
What thoughts that day…went through your mind?
Nurturer, teacher; devotedly humble;
Attending God’s will; never a grumble.
Unmercifully beaten, and heinously whipped,
In His own blood, on the stone way He slipped;
What thoughts that day…went through your mind?
Man’s inhumanity to man; so cruel and so blind.
A sun-darkened day; a global earthquake,
Hearts all atremble; from graves dead awake,
God’s crucified Son; pierced, lifeless you find;
What thoughts that day…Went through your mind?
What motherly thoughts… Went through your mind?
