SONNETS OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY: THE RESURRECTION



THE RESURRECTION

Within hours to defeat the Sabbath's onset
Mary's Son was buried in the grave
Belonging to another Joseph than that
One Who had in the manger first him laid
A broken Mary stumbled from the tomb
John the Beloved took her sunburnt arm
Her other hand and arm reached for her womb
Saint John resolved to save her from all harm
The third day Mary visited the place
To find that Christ had risen from the dead
When meeting, did Mother and Son embrace?
We're sure, although the Bible never said
Patiently caring for the apostle John
She stayed behind, left Christ her Son scale heaven on His own
