When the Lord Christ paid life with death, Beside the cross his Mother stood: She saw her child yield up his breath, She knew the passing of her God. And he said: Weep not. Though I go, I leave thee not without a son. All souls for whom my blood doth flow Shall call thee mother: all for one. And Mary said: So be it done. Be they my children in thy stead. I will love all, who loved but one, And in the living see the dead. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...GOOD FRIDAY by LUCILLE CLIFTON GOOD FRIDAY, 1613.
