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.
