Presentation

Mary arrived to be purified
in the holy Temple where did reside
     Anna and Simeon
     who each had a vision
of Jesus to be shared and magnified.

Mary heard their child would be a sign
for the fall and rise of many in time,
     revealed as the light
     for gentiles delight
bringing salvation by God's design.

Luke 2.22-38
