Mother Mary Form of the Week Saudade
Mother Mary

I wonder when she saw His face
blood streaked from thorns in His crown,
did she recall when He bloodied a knee
at five and came running to her?

I wonder when the nails were driven in
did she recall the young boy in training,
learning the tools of His father's trade?

I wonder while she watched Him hang,
body broken, dying too young
did she recall the babe she suckled,
promising a mother's love and protection?
