Wouldn’t she have,
Held Him to her breast,
Feeling the raw strength of motherhood.
Wouldn’t she have,
Cried tears of happiness,
While a new fear took root in her heart.
Wouldn’t she have
Right at that moment
Promised her life for His.
Wouldn’t she have
Smelled the baby’s breath
And inhaled His perfume.
Wouldn’t she have
Felt His heart beat
So familiar to her own.
Wouldn’t she have
Become Mother Mary
To her baby
And the world.
I think she would have and that she did.

Your image is heavenly, Colleen. Your words exactly how I feel for Mary and Joseph, fear mixed with immense pride. A newborn baby, swaddled in a manger touches so many lives. . . š š

We shall never forget how much it matters to give birth, to love and to support. Birth and death of humans, of ideas and fantasy. We should fight for.

It definitely all matters.

Well I prefer after all birth not death. Long and joyful life with ideas, fantasy and peace. There might be never peace on earth, but peace inside of me and piece in my little world which I will have with the ones I share my life with.
