The Sweet Aroma Of Love

The room was crowded, but not deterred,
she was determined to reach her Lord.
With  tears of love flowing from her eyes,
she washed Jesus feet to their surprise.

Showing her tenderness and loving care,
she then dried His feet with her long hair,
and from the jar which she opened wide
took out the sweet perfume from inside.

The room was filled with aroma sweet
as she rubbed the ointment over His feet.
Her acts of love though misunderstood,
did not pass unnoticed by her Lord.

What extravagant love Mary showed
and upon the Lord Jesus bestowed.
I wish that I could as loving be,
so fearless and unrestrained as she.
