A Mother’s Tears Standing at the cross that fateful day Weeping over the agony of her Son Seeing the stripes upon His body Knowing His life was almost gone Mary wept tears that fell at her feet Great droplets upon the ground Grief wrapped her body like a shawl Was there no relief, for Him, to be found She heard Him say, “It is finished” She watched Him breathe His last Mercifully, He would suffer no more John’s arm around her was steadfast Today, Mothers weep droplets of tears Concern for their children fills their hearts Children’s lives are being snatched away Through evil schemes Satan imparts Mothers wrap yourselves in shawls of prayer Let the last teardrop fall Beseech the Lord to work in their hearts Pray they will heed His call Written by, Wanda L.

*sigh* so many tears have fallen from a mother's eyes. This is a poem that brought me to tears as I watch the world my children and grandchildren are a part of. I pray they have the strength to endure the trials ahead of them. Beautiful writing, Wanda. **hugs** Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |

Karen; Our children are grown adults; but I watch those sweet and precious little grandchildren. This is quite a world we live in today. We owe them our prayers and spiritual counsel. May you know the blessings of His peace today. Thanks for your reply. Wanda |

Amen Wanda ~ I noticed this was written before 9/11, most meaningful then, even more so now. You have done a great job writing such sad truths... Bonnie |

Bonnie; Thank you for your reply. Children are near and dear to my heart. I have had a great concern for children for sometime now. I was involved in a ministry for children, and over the years I have seen the change in children; their attitudes, those things they are trying to cope with from their homes and families, their hurts, their anger and resentment. Oh my, do we ever need to pray for our children!! Blessings on you this day. Wanda |

I just found this and it is very touching. I have told my children if each of us does his best this world will be a better place. We can't wait for someone else. Thanks be to God they seem to be heeding my advice. I lost my only son to a heart attack in February of 1999 so you can bet this mother's tears have fallen. But he is with God. Joyce |

Joyce; My heart goes out to you at the loss of your son. I do know though it must be a comfort to know he is with our Lord. May He give you His peace and comfort. Thank you for your reply to the poem. Wanda |
