Thank You Mary

Mary, did you know when you first held your precious son?

The awful persecution he would face in life, much later on?

Did you know how extraordinary he’d be to all the lost souls?

Did you ever realize the valued lives he would make whole?

That little baby you are holding in your arms was God’s gift to you.

I think you knew it from the beginning, if the writings are true .

God sent to you an Angel to tell you of HIS glorious birth.

Did the Angel tell you more, to let you know your son’s worth?

Or did you just raise your son as simply as other mother’s do?

Bringing HIM up with values and observe his faith as it grew?

Not knowing God’s plan for him but understanding that one was in place.

I’ve tried so hard to read the answers as I look upon your face.

I guess it really doesn’t matter if you knew or didn’t know.

For you raised a special son, as you lovingly watched him grow.

How hard it must have been for you to watch HIM on the cross.

There are no words inside of me to express, for your heartfelt loss.

This man who was crucified and died by others hands.

Was that precious little baby, you helped walk and stand.

I wish someday to hug you & thank you for your sacrifice.

In giving your son for all of us, for giving us our Christ.
