MOTHER OF JESUS

Mary, did you wonder

When you carried your son,

Whether you knew how

To raise the “Holy One?”

 

Were you often doubtful

Whether others would accept

God’s child inside you?  

Who was there as you wept?

 

When others later cursed him

And beat him with a whip,

Did you kneel to help him?

Give him water to sip?

 

When they hung him up high

Upon a wooden cross,

How did you hold your anger

When dealing with your loss?

 

I think it gave you comfort,

You had your son for years,

To hold and to cherish

Before you wept your tears.
