Joseph Spence Sr Poet Couplet

Crimson Stain—glorious Stand

With crimson stain on her hands
Kneeling was her glorious stand

Holy Mother cried for her son
Wondering what they had done

Bellowing clouds changing color
Approaching the appointed hour

What stone could seal our faith?
His powers unlocked the gate 

Glorious ascension and praise 
His forgiveness shines with rays

With crimson stain on her hands
Kneeling was her glorious stand

Marycile Beer August 16, 2008 at 9:47 AM Beautiful Joseph. The strength we mothers should look to. I often look upon her statue and ask how she was able to handle this pain. I often wish I could be as strong as she was when I feel I have been stretched to the limit. God Bless, Cile

Adell Foster August 1, 2008 at 8:33 AM Joseph, this is an absolutely awesome write as you tell the story of Mother Mary and the pain she endured of the passing of Our Lord Saviour at that most precious and appointed hour... If not for His ascension and those wondrous rays of forgiveness, I shudder to think where we would be now. Thank you for sharing such a marvelous read with us all God’s Love and Many Blessings, Always, Adell
