My Proposal
My Proposal
Always one with the Divine dispatch
Never a thought for himself
Always a swift and selfless messenger
Never a pause to ponder his view
Now God asking to become a person
Never had this happened before
Great Gabriel approaching
This person
This question
This transition
God asking if this Mary might become His mother
Always he’d flown on the wings of the Lord
Never had he felt like a human, hesitant to be seen
Do not be afraid, Gabriel, for you have been chosen for this role
This is my proposal to her
Announce what I say to you
Gabriel turned and looked longer at Mary
He saw all that was pending
All heaven held its breath
I love God who wisely arranges all things
I love this Mary, so different from all other persons
I love Him who wants to be her son
Gabriel brightly and silently came before Mary.
