Meet Mary

By shoebox

Sun, 20 Aug 2006
  • 1020 reads
 

The bronze paper door opens slowly
They lead her into the room
She's about ninety in this play
Called "Meet the Mother, Mary"
Much about her we find unsung
But not her matchless Son
He was the jolly Preacher Man,
Young rebel a crowd once hung.
