Just a little closer than the rest-- <br /> Just a little closer than the rest <br /> Just a little closer <br /> Can't you smell that sweet Mimosa? <br /> Just a little closer than the rest. <br /> <br /> Just a little closer than the rest <br /> Was the one who laid his head on Jesus' breast <br /> Not for competition, but this one's submission <br /> Made him just a little closer than the rest <br /> <br /> Just a little closer than the rest-- <br /> The horse and the jockey <br /> Just a little closer than the rest, <br /> But not to the fence <br /> Just a little closer <br /> That's why this horse could go so <br /> Just a little closer than the rest <br /> <br /> Just a little closer than the rest <br /> Just a little closer than the rest <br /> So when Jesus rose, <br /> The very first to know was <br /> Just a little closer than the rest<br /><br />Elizabeth Worthington<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/mary-magdalene/
