Mother Mary

Mary
Jesus
Magdalene
Pure white Virgin cloth
Crosses, blood red where burned and lost
The Romans they had blind eyes
To the new world he would soon be born and rise
Soldier’s battle cries
Never shall drown the hopes of Mary’s forgiving eyes
For in a manger long ago
God bespoke to those Sheppard souls
Take heart, for now is but a miracle in time
Later history and Romans shall know and recant
The doubts they had of heavens gates above
Mother Mary’s whispered words
Go forth son the gospel shall be your eternal will
For there is but one Jesus, and tiss he who love instills
Disciples will tell you of his goodness and humanity he did show 
Three Wise Men long ago
Told you so!

The Blessed Virgin Mary
Made the message glow
Let it be

I cannot see the photos but it is so nice this evening to be reminded of the true celebration of Xmas. Not the comercial nightmare it has now become. Thank you.
