We walk in their footsteps
We walk in their footsteps
those women
so afraid of loss and
grief. Afraid of life
lessened and dulled.
Past dreams shattered
amidst uncertainty
and death.
We walk in their footsteps.
They were afeared
and yet they followed
all the way to
the darkest places
Gethsemane, Antonia
Golgotha, the tomb.
They followed in despair
farewelling life
as hope unravelled.
At the end
Jesus was not there.
Too much life
to be lived, too much
hope to be to be held.
as life erupts in love.
He has gone ahead!
We walk in their footsteps.
