In the rich man’s grave, carved from the hill,
two men laid the body: dead and still.
Sabbath night and day followed Friday afternoon.
Jesus’ body (off the cross) – lay cold in the tomb
Mary came grieving in darkness on Sunday.
Then, pink dawn-light showed – the stone rolled away!
She told John and Peter and they ran ahead,
“They’ve taken him somewhere!” Mary said.
Peter walked in. John waited outside.
The body was gone but the cloths left behind…
The men went back home.
Mary came to the tomb.
She peered in and saw two angels were there.
“Where did you put him? Where, oh where?”
Behind her a man asked, “Why are you weeping?”
Perhaps he’s the gardener... “Who are you seeking?”
“Where have you put him?” she asked as she cried.
He said, “Mary!”
“Rabboni!” She smiled.
Bible reference: John 20:11-16
*Sabbath = Saturday *Rabboni = teacher
