Enjoying His Intimacy

                       By: Robert Schaetzle Sr.

               Mary wept at the tomb that day

              Thinking they took her Lord away.

              Angels before her saw her weeping

             They knew her Savior was not sleeping.

            “O woman, why are you in such despair

             Whom are you seeking?” the angels asked

            “Sir” she said to him, supposing the gardener

              “Lead me to Him, I’ll take Him away”

            “Mary” cried her Lord from behind

             “Teacher” she cried eyes now open, not blind

             Clinging steadfast to her Lord that day

            Wanting her Savior never to stray

            “I must ascend to My Father and your Father

            But the Comforter I leave with you”

            “My love, my care, I leave with you, forever

            My intimacy, will never part, no, not ever”

           Mary found such joy, her heart swelled that day

           Her Savior was not taken, faith renewed to stay   

           For us the same, a Savior risen, not stole from us

           His presence to guide, lasting hope, to trust

           Never left alone, or in despair

          His intimacy, ever present, ever secure
