Eternal salvation’s a gift From a righteous young maid in a shift Who had never been laid; By God’s Spirit: hand-made was her baby, our burdens to lift.

Handmaiden of the Lord
Eternal salvation’s a gift From a righteous young maid in a shift Who had never been laid; By God’s Spirit: hand-made was her baby, our burdens to lift.
PROMPT #20: write a poem about a handmade gift that you have received. I spent this afternoon watching SHE (1965 Hammer version) with my daughter because I was dreading trying to rise to the challenge of this prompt. I wound up with a half-baked limerick based on Luke 1:37, 38 "For with God nothing shall be impossible. And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her."
