He was her little boy her first born Her love child and hers to love as no other A new little soul to keep from the worlds scorn For whom she would always be called "his mother" She was so unprepared for all that was to come A sudden trip to foreign lands when birth was upon her No warm bed for either but a barn borrowed for this one The sins of woman called labor ended in glorious birth Such awe such beauty did over come that sight In her eyes he was most precious a gift to keep May he be safe and healthy she prayed that night Be caring and wisdom may he ever seek No time to linger another jounery to begin She wanted to keep him safe from earthly pain Where to go how to get there follow the wind Nothing to pack not much to carry fight fear again As she heard what was expected of this child The pain for both to endure she tried to understand Not easy for a mother her life going wild Someone else holding her son's hand Please let him stay little let him have no cares Let someone else save the world but not my son But after all was said and done after the tears She was told this is the only chosen one |

This reminds me of a beautiful song called "Mary, Did You Know?" Excellent poem. |

Excellent tribute to Mary (I presume) the mother of Jesus. Don't let Marge see this comment  |

Beautifully done of a story so heartbreaking. "Lose your temper and you lose a friend; lie and you lose yourself." |
