Mary

She lead a simple life
She was a simple girl
Wanting an ordinary life

She wanted to lead a life pleasing to the Lord
She wanted to obey
And indeed that is what she did

This young teenage girl
Served the Lord
She carried Jesus in her womb

She knew the man she was to marry
Wouldn't listen to her explanation
No one would

But the Lord provided for her
He saved her from the judgments of others
And helped the man she loved to understand

And indeed she was cared for
She didn't let her fear overcome her faith
She didn't let her tears drown out her joy of being used in such a big way

This simple scared girl
Had no place to deliver this holy child
No one had room for the mother of Jesus

So she gave birth in a stable
Afraid
And cold

But the holy child was born
Wrapped in swaddling cloths
And with love

This young girl
Was the mother of Jesus
As she looked down at her child

She could see in his eyes
Love
And peace
For the Lord had indeed provided for her

This is a sweet and sad poem. Mary was quite blessed to have Jesus inside of her! Any girl would of been. :)

What a peaceful poem Sarah. I feel a warmth of love for the Virgin Mary in this lovely poem. Outstanding job of displaying your love and admiration for this courageous woman.

Lovely Sarah..the gentleness of Mary, the love and pain is captured here. well done

[Coyote Poetry]

It is a very good poem. From a eye of a woman the story is different. Especially over 2000 years to explain a birth of a baby. I like how you made Mary become human. A beautiful poem and story. A excellent poem.

Pretty good, very simple, as is fitting. I sent you a read request for one I wrote on the same subject, let me know what you think.
