A Mothers Love
by Brenda Victoria Northeast Tears swelled inside my eyes, As I looked down upon your adorable baby face - such joy was mine as I held my firstborn in my arms My heart was overcome with joy- I heard the angels sing! A treasured moment in time- I considered not your fate - you were mine. For a short time - I held my boy No one could take your place. As you grew- I wondered at the news - the earth rejoiced at your grace. Lepers were cleansed-blind men they did see! Dead were raised- the humble praised the lame he leapt for joy! It wasn't long - they soon forgot your humble life you gave - To set them free - this salvation- of which they could not see! Alone you stood before a condemning crowd who hurled insults and abuse- Your hand outstretched your solemn word they nailed you to that cross. My heart bled for you my son as they cruelly mocked your noble brow- Heaven's only king- with thorns so deep your face - covered in blood. So marred and mocked- broken heart- wounded soul - tortured body- your bones they ached in pain righteous one -you hung there- all alone Grief overcame my heart tears clouded my eye's as you lifted your head - you searched my face- your lips spoke softly to your friend " Look after her -your mother." I leave you now - but I will come again and soon your heart will sing Some three days time triumphant over death and sin- You rose in Victory for us all! Then- Oneday for those who wait we'll meet you in the sky. BY Brenda V Northeast BrendaVN 18/03/08 Brenda V Northeast self taught, author/Illustrator of 5 Published Picture Books for children.
