Standing at His cross

at the foot of His sentence

standing at His cross

stood the Virgin Mary

watching her baby die

standing at the foot of the cross

nothing Good to her

about this Friday

having heard the crowd,

watching her son die

fulfilling prophecy of Simeon

a sword piercing her heart
