Sage Babe, Ballad Options

[Guest_Carol Dee Meeks_*]

A young and carefree lass agrees
to carry babe and heed world pleas.
The angel promised bliss for her
despite the pain, she would incur.

Those days when all the worlds went wild
to character of mom’s first child
not joined in bond of perfect link
with dad who cares what people think.

‘Twis at a visit she now learns
of cuz Elizabeth’s concerns
because her husband cannot speak.
Conception makes him seem too weak.

But soon the countryside would know
the prophet’s message seed would grow.
Young Mary’s offspring would save souls,
Elizabeth’s helped Him with goals.

Maturity changed landscapes form
with wisdom’s grace above the norm.
When justice moved from town to town
some neighbors deemed them quite unsound.

As Mary’s offspring’s seasons ripe
His cousin’s fame abates in hype.
He knows his time is drawing nigh,
He never balks or wonders why.

So quietly, He meets the day.
And quietly He kneels to pray.
For one of His betrays Him there
with silver-shekels, coins of snare.

From there she learns upon the tree
by son she bore in agony:
Redeemer, Savior, God, her son
who comes to save, His job is done.

This young and carefree lass so young
agreed to surrogate God’s Son.
A life of bliss now falls apart
her pain like darts runs through her heart.
