Ann Weems
Mary,
Nazareth girl:
What did you know of ethereal beings
with messages from God?
What did you know of men
when you found yourself with a child?
What did you know of babies,
you, barely out of childhood yourself?
God chosen girl:
What did you know of God
that brought you to the stable
blessed among women?
Could it be that you had been ready
waiting
listening
for the footsteps
of an angel?
Could it be there are messages for us
if we have the faith to listen?
