remember and tell

And they remembered his words, and returning from the tomb they told all these things to the eleven and to all the rest.

Luke 24:8-9

Women were astounded to arrive there

     an open tomb

     an empty tomb

     echoing into that tomb

There were two voices from men suddenly there

     perplexed they heard

     frightened they bowed

     faces to the ground

They heard the angels say:

“Why are looking for a living Savior among the dead?”

     “Remember what He said?”

     “In Galilee He proclaimed

     The third day He’d be raised.”

The women then remembered and they rejoiced

     running from the tomb

     running to His disciples

     telling all they’d seen

And we too know the story by faith, gazing as well in His empty grave

     will we run?

     will we rejoice?

     will we tell His good news?
