Poem by STM for Steven, A Brother

Lady beneath the Cross,
embracing the great suffering
of the Only Begotten Son,
her Son.

Lady beneath the Cross,
given to John, to all who
love the Crucified One,
her Son.

Lady beneath the Cross,
taken into silence in grace
and pain, holding Him first
her Son

Lady beneath the Cross,
so full of grief that the
third day promised by
her Son,

Seems far away...

Lady beneath the Cross,
alone in a time for grief,
soon to melt in joy with
her Son.

Lady beneath the Cross,
intercede for those who love you
now, at the hour all meet
her Son.

Lady beneath the Cross,
let your children join in your
hope, waiting for the glory of
her Son.
