Mary's Prayer

Oh Heavenly Father,

As I sit here tonight, I wonder, why me?

 How am I equipped to do this thing, which I am so obviously called to do?

As I ponder this, I know it really does not matter.

 Here I am, holding this magnificent baby boy.

When he looks up at me, the whole world melts away.

 I get lost in his love.

It’s almost like he IS love.

I want you to know Father, that I will do my best to raise your son.

 I will feed him, and change him, and sing him to sleep.

I will do all the things that you cannot do here on earth.

But Father, don’t ask me not to love him, because I already do.

He holds my heart in those tiny little fingers.

No matter what tomorrow holds for us,

this future king will always be my little boy.
