Poetry
When Eve was presented to Adam
In a paradise hour given by God
Their hearts immediately realized
It had become the other’s own.
When Abraham took Isaac
To offer him as a sacrifice on mount Moriah
In a heart rending trial of faith
He did not hesitate to sacrifice his very own.
When Jacob set foot in the land of Edom
Having deceived Esau of his birthright
In a wave of forgiveness Esau welcomes him
Jacob knew he had returned to his very own.
When Joseph was delivered into Egypt
Reunited with his brothers who had enslaved him
On the loving blessing conferred by his father Jacob
He knew he was united to his very own.
When Moses was returned to his mother
Rescued in the Nile by the Pharaoh’s daughter
His mother looked into his eyes and knew
She was given back her very own.
When Jesus was born in a manger
On a night of great rejoicing in heaven
Mary saw the silent message in His love filled eyes
That He was her very own.
When Jesus hung on the Cross
A bitter agony of three hours
God looked down and whispered;
“This is my very own
Given to the world as a saving gift.”
Jesus raised His eyes to His father in reply
Amidst the pangs of affliction and pain;
“Yes, I am your very own
I willingly take up my cross to do your will.”
