Mary, What Was It Like?
by

Vicki Wood

Mary, what was it like
Being a pure, untouched, virgin;
Knowing you were the one,
The blessed one, God had chosen
To carry His child?

You must have felt special.
For, this wasn't any burden.
Mary, what was it like upon
Learning of this blessed event?

You were the one to be sanctified
Through God's glorified touch,
From this moment forward.
God'' heavenly gift is His child to be sent.

Mary, were you afraid of the gossip
And words that might have been said?
Or, did you wonder if they knew just
How holy and precious you were
For your carrying God's child, even though
You were engaged to be wed?

Mary, what was it like
When you felt movement
From this precious child?

Was it then, when you felt
Your love for Him, or when
Joseph felt this life inside of you
And, joyfully, just smiled?

Mary what was it like,
When time was near,
With no place to stay?

Weren't you worried or
Scarred that there was
No place to be found?
The weather was, oh, so cold.
Yet, for you and Joseph,
There was no bed for Jesus to lay.

Mary, what was it like
Giving birth to Jesus, the One
Given through God's grace?

How did you feel, as you held
The precious Baby in your arms?

Did you realize that,
When you were kissing Jesus,
You were kissing God's glowing face?

Mary, what was it like to
At Jesus and His tiny, tiny, face?

Isn't it something, Mary,
Just to know that
You held our Saviour?

You gave birth to the Son of God,
Only through the touch
Of God's amazing grace.
