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?

Great poem man, The great love of the Mother is unfortunately tainted by 'Man’s inhumanity to man; so cruel and so blind'. Well written.

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
