SONNETS OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY: THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION


THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION

The heart of Joachim was full of joy
The day his wife Anne told him she'd conceived
Their own princess or prince - a girl or boy
It would be like none other, they believed
How very lovely Mary was we know
Since we have hindsight knowledge them denied
No stain of sin would ever mark her soul
Conceived immaculate she lived and died
How can we fathom it? this stainless girl
Mother of our Messiah was to be
Each moment of her life would be a pearl
Of tenderness and spotless purity
"Conceived immaculate", the anthem rang
Around the throne of God the angels sang
