The Sweetest Gift

Only heaven knew 
	How sweet it would be.

       Only God knew
The grace we had received.

Only a true promise
	Could bloom from divine seed.

	Only Gabriel knew the weight
Of the message he bared.

Only a God like him
	Would give such a gift.

	Only dear Elizabeth knew
How blessed the Virgin was.

Only Earth required
	The arrival of this king.
