we think of Mary
the mother of Jesus
alone on Calvary
at the place of the skull
on what we call Good Friday
for those six hours
in pain, in agony
in some ways, she was
more alone than Jesus
because she was human
just like you and me
she couldn’t understand
that all of these moments
were part of the heavenly plan
she was alone on Golgotha
at the place of the skull
standing at the cross
in her pain, in her sorrow,
a sword piercing her soul
for her, her son dying,
choosing to become our sacrifice
