holding the body of Jesus

Cradled in her loving arms
after His death, His crucifixion,
the crowds gone, quiet
the women and the others
after they lowered His body
from the rugged cross

Holding of the body of Jesus
the Messiah, the Christ
forming the pieta, before His burial
His mother, the Madonna,
the mother with her baby
as she was at the stable.

God’s plan come full circle
why He had come to the earth
there with His mother
fulfilling His purpose;
The babe in the manger and
the man from the cross.
