She Held Him In Her Arms

During a time of trouble in Jerusalem,

News had reached to Mary

Who would become a mother of a special child.

Though she had known of this child’s coming,

She had not expected it to happen that day.

Nevertheless, she braced herself for what was yet to come.

When she saw her Son, she shed her tears of love.

When He was placed in her arms, she cleaned Him up.

To keep Him warm, she wrapped her Son up in clothes & blankets.

After she did, she laid Him to rest. And then she planted a kiss on Him.

When He first spoke, she rose with joy.

When He first walked, she embraced Him.

When He was hungry, she made him food

And He would eat with joy.

When He was thirsty, she brought him water

And He would drink with satisfaction.

Then it came time for Him to do His Father’s work.

When He cried, she wiped His tears.

Then she whispered in His ear, “You are my little prince always.”

After she said that, He went about His Father’s work.

During His absence, she thought of and prayed for her Son every day.

To keep herself going, she occupied herself with helping others

Overcome their challenges. She also told them about her Son.

When they learned about Him, some walked away from her.

But most of them stayed and listened to her,

For they wanted to know more about Him

And perhaps meet Him someday.

Then one day…

During another time of trouble in Jerusalem,

News had reached to Mary

Who had become a mother of the special child.

Though she had known of this child’s coming,

She had not hoped it would happen that day.

Nevertheless, she braced herself for what was yet to come.

When she saw her Son, she shed her tears of love.

When He was placed in her arms, she cleaned Him up.

To keep Him warm, she wrapped her Son up in clothes & blankets.

After she did, she laid Him to rest. And then she planted a kiss on Him.

Three days later…

When He first spoke, she rose with joy.

When He first walked, she embraced Him.

When He was hungry, she made him food

And He would eat with joy.

When He was thirsty, she brought him water

And He would drink with satisfaction.

Then it came time for Him to do His Father’s work.

When she cried, He wiped her tears.

Then He whispered in her ear, “I am your little prince always.”

After He said that, He went about His Father’s work.

During His absence, she thought of and prayed for her Son every day.

To keep herself going, she occupied herself with helping others

Overcome their challenges as always. She also told them about her Son.

When they learned about Him, some walked away from her like before.

But most of them stayed and listened to her more,

For they wanted to know more about Him

And perhaps meet Him someday.
