A Mother's Thoughts Poem by Alf Hutchison

A Mother's Thoughts

Rating: 5.0


Written Mother’s day 2009

What thoughts that day…went through your mind?
Sweet gentle lady; born one of a kind,
Unique child of God, unlike non other;
Virgin birthed Christ; His earthly mother.



Within you the mysteries, of God did unwind;
What thoughts that day…went through your mind?
Nurturer, teacher; devotedly humble;
Attending God’s will; never a grumble.



Unmercifully beaten, and heinously whipped,
In His own blood, on the stone way He slipped;
What thoughts that day…went through your mind?
Man’s inhumanity to man; so cruel and so blind.



A sun-darkened day; a global earthquake,
Hearts all atremble; from graves dead awake,
God’s crucified Son; pierced, lifeless you find;
What thoughts that day…Went through your mind?

What motherly thoughts… Went through your mind?

Mother's heart! How many heart piercing thoughts. What is mother's plight, when she thought of her son's miserable end? Wonderful write Sir. Amazing clarity, touching words and expressions.

THis is very heart wretching as is any depiction of the crucifixtion. I cry copious tears anytime and everytime I see the story of the sacrifice made for me. I sympathize with Mary as any Mother would and ache and cry for her terror and sadness but what Joy must have come to her at knowing the outcome. The proudest Mother on earth. Thank you Alf this needed to be written.

Beautiful Alf. A lovely way of portraying the Virgin Mary in the role of Mother on Mother's Day. It certainly makes one think about a lot of things. Well done. love and hugs Ernestine XXX

On her human part Mother Mary would have cried shedding bleeding tears...but on the contrary, knowing about her godly son she would have also remained calm..you are the first person to show concern for Mary on mother's day....congrats
