The Steps Of Mary Poem by louis rams

She was truly blessed at a very young age
To carry our lord and was told his name.
He will be called Jesus and bring salvation to the world
Stories of his birth will be told to every boy and girl.
They will praise his holy name
And their lives will forever change.

When Joseph found out that his
betrothed was with child, and that it wasn’t his.
He decided a quite divorce he would give.

But an angel came to him that night
And told him that it was the son of god
That she would bear.
And to wipe away all his fears.

His faith and belief so strong in god
And what the angel had said
That he put his worries to bed.

She decided to spend some time with
her cousin, who was also with child
Who she had not seen in quite a while.

As she walked into the house
Elizabeth s child kicked with joy
For this was the saviors little boy.
Long before either of their births
The paths had been set, John would
Lead the way, and followers he would get.

He told of the birth of the messiah to all around
As the people listened without making a sound.
He baptized all with water
As this was the lords words and his order.

As Jesus preached throughout the land
Mary watched with a fearful stand.
For she knew in her heart, that this would be
The beginning of man kinds new start.

She knew that her child would be taken away
And to the lord she did pray.
The lord strengthened her heart and her faith
For what was to come, for he was sent down
By his father “ his begotten son”.

The times that lied ahead
Of her fears she would overcome.
And let gods will be done.

Now! No one knew the heartache and pain
That Mary and Joseph would go thru
To see their earthly son tortured and to be put to death
This was the part that they did regret.
But their faith so strong in god above
That they would give up the child that they loved.

Mother Mary ! You had traveled the road
That god had set for you
And this is something that we all must do.
The difference is that we must travel this road
With blind faith, for in our lives, we can not wait.

Give us the strength that god bestowed upon you
So that in our lives we can follow thru.
