Easter Poems – “He is risen!” (37)

Stunned shock turns into joy when Mary wonders first where Jesus’ body is, and then when he speaks her name, she knows immediately it’s him. I love that – the instant recognition of the one who loves you most who speaks your name. And note Peter in true form, dashing ahead of John to burst into the tomb.

I pray that this day, you, like Mary, can say, “I have seen the Lord!”
