When She Stood At The Empty Grave Poem by Gert Strydom

When she stood at the empty grave
Mary was full of grief and astonished
but when Jesus came to her
she wanted to embrace Him

but He warned her
and speechless she then stood next to Him,
seeing the bright light coming from His eyes
knowing that He leave to go to His Father

knowing that His love is greater than all things
and realizing on that day
that His love circles out to everyone on earth
as salvation against all evil
and for her anguish that moment was healing
while she stared at His enraptured beauty.
