What's Mary's Story? Poem by michael Smajda

They all came to visit sweet Mary
Who lived in the village of Pride.
They all came to court pretty Mary
Hoping she would be someone's bride.

Mary gave each a chance to date her.
Mary gave each suitor a goodbye kiss.
But she found no one so charming
To leave her single life, she would miss.

So, then, came the day, I am sad to say,
Hair turned gray, without a man's love,
She died alone, with open bible in hand,
Dedicating herself to the Lord above.
