The Vestal and the Ladybug

There was a little ladybug in my house tonight
that means pleasing luck and prosperity hindsight
as her son Jesus riding a pack animal burro
Mary Ladybird our Lady spots joy and with sorrow
from her cloak in primal paintings of lineage rare
I wonder if the black spots were the color of her hair
the name means scarlet hence the color known red
I'm glad it was spotted before it crawled in our bed
they both have enemies but camouflage greatly well
immaculate conception is differed though with smell
their ancestry or bloodline represents them as the 7
for up to two years they travel with guardians 11:11
If you view this number frequently in time do watch
it's mine in field of study and birth chart is topnotch
the Lady Bird 1 or 8 depending on various statistics
and the Lady Beetle insect in accordance characteristics

Another interesting verse, Angela I struggle a little bit trying to understand. I guess I’m a little slow. Hugs Eve

A poem that has to be dissected piece by piece. A cohere whole though.
