As a mother, I was really touched by your notes. I can't imagine having to be witness to anything terrible happening to my children. You did such a nice job with this poem. Hugs, Lou

    Hello Lou,

    Thank you Lou for your excellent review, I appreciate your thoughts.

    I cannot imagine being a mother and watching my son have long nails driven through His hands and feet. And, then standing there and watching Him die a slow brutal death hanging on a cross. What a horrible experience that must have been for her.

    Happy Easter Lou to you and your family. Stay safe from the virus my friend...Bill

Thanks for the Easter greetings and message - those are the words we must listen to this week - during a crisis, people do turn to God for comfort and hope. I pray this will be true for many this week.

My favorite part was, "Weep from happiness
Embrace My death I plea
Peace and eternal life
To all who believe in Me", because it shares The Gospel with such few words! I also love how it took the perspective of Jesus comforting Mary!

What a grand sentiment for this holiday season. You did a great job at stating what Jesus would have likely said to his mother in this acrostic.

I can see why this one was the chosen winner!

Well done!

Thank you for sharing this very well written acrostic poem. I like that you mentioned in your comments that in the Bible it says that Jesus wept, and you used that scripture to remind us that Mary also wept but was calmed by the words of Jesus as also he was comforted in front of the tomb of Lazarus, where the resurrection power of God was first displayed.

    Thank you Frank for your great review, I appreciate it. I believe that Mary played the most important part of any man or woman, other than Jesus, who ever walked on this earth.

    Happy Easter and stay safe...Bill

I cant imagine how Mary was feeling, probably a mix of a lot of feelings. It was gods plan but I cant imagine how she coped, she probably prayed her heart out to god to help her. Mary is a very strong women.

It's a much speculative verse, some say it was His final miracle on Earth that made Him, others He had to wait sometime before He raised Lazarus, and others that His people did not receive Him, I think it was the latter.
"I am the resurrection and the life. Though he be dead, yet shall he live" He said. A beautifully written contest winner Bill, well done, blessings, Roy

What an appropriate poem for the day prior to Good Friday. I can see why it won the contest. I also loved your comments about Mary. I think sometimes people tend to forget her role in his death. She stood as our witness. Sorry, this deserved a six, I'm out of them

    Thank you Bob for your great review, I appreciate it. I agree, when you're the Mother of the most beloved person who ever walked on this earth, your recognition would fall to the wayside (possibly).

    Happy Easter and stay safe...Bill

Having the message of Christ is what the world needs now. I hope it finds the hearts of many, as the world has slowed to a crawl. I agree with your notes and the poem itself was worked out to perfection. You took those letters and made it feel like each line belonged. Amen.
