O Graced One Poem by Jordan Legaspi

Mary: O Graced One


Men and women of her time were anxious of waiting
for the Messiah to come, to save Israel and his king
After all it was their fate - spoken since their ancestors'
but to her it was different, an embarrassment it-seems
Remember he kind: the insignificant, and the least,
virgin birth - what is this - might crashed her breast
Yet let go of man's sentence and allow Yahweh's judgment
not to calm her but to bring all to this holy enterprise
