Yesterday, was Holy.
Celestial greetings bid,
Sacred Plan proposed,
Divine Kingdom promised!
Truth or fancy?
My womb flutters…
Truth!
Today, Mother’s tears are endless,
Father’s eyes dismiss me,
And oh, my love, my Joseph
recoils from my touch!
Tomorrow, I leave home
for other plans have been made.
*Whose plan now shall I follow?
second poem in "Ave Maria" series. Mary has told the happy news to a not so excited family. I think many unmarried teen moms to be might relate to this. I remember a time young girls would be sent to live with an "aunt" for a few months.
