SONNETS OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY: MARY WAITS OUTSIDE


MARY WAITS OUTSIDE

It was established Christ loved Mary best
The day the Cana miracle took place
But afterwards he put her to the test
Until the smile of joy had left her face
Not one word of protest Mary uttered
The day he preached while she waited outside
"Your mother and brothers are waiting", they muttered
But the tidings by him were denied
"Who are my mother and brothers?" He demanded
"Those who obey God's will upon the earth."
In this way Mary knew she'd been commanded
Humbly to wait outside for Him she'd birthed
Yet a woman in the gathering did audibly think:
"Blessed's the womb that bore you, the paps that gave you drink."
