Gentle Woman.

~~Daniel J D~~

Somewhere near Bethleem
Came upon the night a gentle woman
She had travelled all day on a donkey
Joseph, her husband looked for a place to stay
And after, he had found a stable
And a bed made of hay
This gentle woman felt comfortable

She was gentle and she was kind
She gave birth to save humankind
She was the most graceful woman
Who ever came upon this earth
For this Child she cared
Until the day He dared
To stand up to a mighty king
In the name of the King of Kings

As she watched, her son die on that cross
The hill on Calvary turned into darkness
The gentle woman was there by His side
When they took Him down from that cross
She helped place Him in a tomb of stone
Until the next morning, to find him gone
She carried Him after His birth
She carried Him after His death
She was the most gentle woman ever born.




Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love

Yes, she did all that gently, and she continually 'pondered these things in her heart' all of her waking days.

VAS,
She was not just the most gentle woman, she was also the most gentle mother ever.

Paula,
Thank you so much. She was kind and she was gentle, this is my tribute to the greatest woman born on this earth.

James,
Cheers and thank. When I look at how beautiful a person my mother is and see how much she cares for her children, I realise how great women are, and take full comfort to know that she prays to the mother of our saviour, that Gentle Woman.

This flies with your heart, Daniel, this is beautifully crafted...a well done is not enough...

I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound.

Butterflies,
It is now 1.45am in Australia as I write this reply. I have been working all night on my thesis. I came upon your wonderful words and could not stop myself from replying to you. Yes she was the most gentle woman ever to tread this earth. Her task of raising the greatest Man to walk upon this earth was not easy, her gentleness came through in the end.
