If God had a mother, what would that be?
The Creator becomes a beloved child,
held in the arms of compassion and boundless human love.
Did it delight the heart of God, to feel the personal side
of a mother's sacrificial care,
when she rose up willingly, night or day,
to see to the needs of her precious child?
Was she on his mind when he prayed
to avoid the coming torture;
did he think of the pain his death would stab into her?
"Woman", he would call her, and honour the word.
