Mary

I wrote this poem in year 2003.

I love to reread it this time of year. I want to embody the attitude of Mary, that whatever God's plan is for my life I say "May it be done as you have said."

MARY

She was a young girl

With a heart of purity

She lived in Bethlehem

Her name was Mary

She was a poor girl

From a poor part of town

But in the Lord's eyes

She wore a robe and a crown

The Angel Gabriel brought her the news that day

And she said yes

And through her reputation away

Heavy, burdened

With a child in her womb

They searched and searched

But could find no room

So this Princess

Bore the King of Heaven

In a stable

With sheep, hay, and oxen

What she saw

Was so amazing that night

She saw her Saviour

Filled with majesty and light

Being worshiped, by Shepherds and Kings

How amazing, to be the Mother to THE KING

The barn was filled with God's presence

A mark of this young girls life

This lowly, hurting, young women

Witnessed, the birth of JESUS CHRIST.
