Every mother
that carries the agony
of losing a child
is held in the arms
of the most beloved mother
every tear that is shed in sorrow
every cry that is uttered in pain
every prayer that is whispered in silence
every scream unleashed in desperation
all is felt
all is heard
all is honored
in ways you shall never know
where there is no consolation
she consoles
where there is no ray of hope
she shines her light
when life loses all meaning
she bestows the miraculous
she is ever present
and all loving
she heals and soothes
and walks beside you
take the hand
of our beloved mother
the hand that caressed
her own fallen son
for at last she reigns
in the heavens
beside him
and this shall be true for you
and for yours
from The Heart of Love Mary Magdalene Speaks
