Was she like Peter
in one breath naming him
the Christ, the living Son of God
in the next breath denying
his need to go to the cross
Did she yearn for another path
did she ask him why
what did Christ say to his mother
before his dying day
Did Christ explain it all to Mary
did she truly believe
that he had to die
did it bring her to her knees
Did she go to the cross
looking up into his eyes
seeing the scourging, the blood
did you she know Easter would come
or did she think he would die

“Behold Your Son . . . Behold Your Mother”
John 19:26
John 19:25-27
“25 Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.
26 When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son!
27 Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.”
