And The Wind Whispered 'Mary'
~*Marge Tindal*~

On a night long ago, Wind came
calling out 'Mary' - knew her by name
Blew across the barren plains
in a land so very far away

Found 'Mary' sheltered safe inside
a stable in the countryside
Saw Joseph standing by his bride
in wait of a miracle yet to be born

Gently, Wind buffeted about in awe
at the vision of the star he saw
Rising in the sky without flaw
Shining brightly in celestial adorn

From within the stable bare
came a mewing breath of air
that the Child of God would wear
to teach the world to sing in mirth

Suddenly Wind began to claim
'Mary'-'Mary' blessed is thy name
Blew in gusts, then he came
to spread the news of Jesus' birth

Wind summoned angels in to see
as the Babe lay so quietly
Cradled ever so gently
in the lap of 'Mary'

'Mary' smiled at Wind and said
This Babe now sleeps in manger bed
You've warmly blown upon His head
Wind wept tears in gentle shed
at the compassionate glory of 'Mary'

So if upon this eve so bright
you should hear Wind tonight
Listen closely, you will hear so dearly
'Mary'-'Mary' praised on Wind so clearly

Thank you, Sue~
This little piece was a hold-over thought from a song my boyfriend sang to me over the weekend~
It took wing and flew to my heart in sharing the Christmas Miracle of our Saviour's birth~
*Hugs* for a wonderful Holiday to you and yours~
