after His resurrection

after His resurrection
there in the garden
the empty tomb behind him
standing with Mary

She was the first
the first to see Jesus
alive, reborn
risen from the tomb

a reward for her faithfulness
perhaps even more than this
redeeming a daughter
a daughter of Eve

There is the garden
after His resurrection
God reconciled us to him
every last one
