Then There WereTwo



Two women greet, only years separate them

Both of their wombs divinely seeded

They embrace; one part joy, the other shame

Their tears speak volumes, no words are needed

The cries of the mothers herald the births

Clothed in crimson robes, babes come into sight

One destined to call men from darkness

The other one to bring them His Light

In a river, two men face each other

Hands of one placed on the other’s brow

One gives, one receives this symbol of grace

Spirit anoints as God’s blessing avowed

See the crowds gathered, once to greet them

Praise turned to jeers, their spittle to adorn

The prophet’s head honored on silver platter

A Prince’s coronation by crown of thorns

Two men, linked by purpose and lineage

Fulfilled God’s plans through different roles

Death tried but failed to contain them

One lives in His Word, the Other our souls
