Ewe and You

Have you ever seen a lamb With it's beautiful eyes Curly hair standing small The color of purest white On a visit to a barn I saw this beautiful thing Standing still ready to run Looking straight at me I was struck with adoration I had never had before I saw what God had seen When he his son adored That lamb became the metaphor To describe Gods feeling for him An instantanious reckoning For something that could not sin When I think of Mary The ewe that brought him forth In charge of the care for him With love that comes from birth I think of how simple it was To love without command To take what was writen in her heart And do it with her hands Not much was said of Mary But she was always there The joy and burden she carried For her little lamb Blessed are you among women You that give him birth Taking care of things charged to him Letting true love come forth Do you know the love writen On most all mothers hearts Have you ever been smitten By nature and its art How comparable is the love Of the ewe and her lamb To the love that you have For the love you have for Gods lamb
