Mary Most Lovely Maiden In Nazareth (Free Verse Sonnet) Poem by Gert Strydom

Mary most lovely maiden in Nazareth
God did watch your ways,
when the archangel Gabriel stood in front of you,
did have a message for you as a woman and as a mother.
You thought about his words tried to figure out their meaning,
that you are blessed among the woman, what it does really mean,
that God does send an angel of light to you a sinful human being
and wondered about what the coming of the angel does mean,
somewhat perplexed you were suddenly scared and searched for meaning
while the words did still hang in the air
and he mentioned that the Holy Spirit would make you pregnant,
suddenly in your heart there was a song of joy
while his lustre, his wings did spread over you
and this great task you did not want to avoid.
