Poem for Mary, Mother of our Lord on August 15th

Mary, Mother of our Lord

Luke 1:46-55

Sing of the Joy that has come

Sing in the hearts of all the people

that now is the time

and the place

for the greatness of the Lord

to come to the people

Sing for the mighty of this world

given new life

toppled from their self made towers

of pride and anxiety

Sing for the powerful of this world

who have been given new life

brought from their mighty thrones of power

with eyes opened toward Christ

seen face to face

in the eyes of poor and hungry

Sing for the humble

in the new hope that life brings

in a world that offered no hope

and Sing for the hungry

who hunger no more

but who are filled with life

and hope

at the one carried in the womb

of  Mary

to a world never the same again

filled with Song
