My Journey to God

His Mother’s Eyes

By lantern light
On manger’s straw
His eyes meet hers—
O night of awe!

In temple halls
Midst learned men
Her tear-stained eyes
Find his again.

At Cana’s feast
Her caring eyes
Speak urgently
And he complies.

On Calvary
Her steadfast eyes
Reflect each blow—
No compromise.

His battle won,
Her tranquil eyes
Know victory now
And not demise.
