Letting Go

Jesus takes his first steps. Part of the "Mary" story.

tiny hand slips from my finger

 “me do!” he boldly declares

 

pit-pat first step

he beams, I smile

pit-pat second step

 “me do?” “you do”

 

Pit-pat third step

thump- I reach…

“no! me do!”

up again pit-pat

 

 pit-pat, pit-pat, “me do! me do!”

Singing - chanting - laughing - marching

 

pit-pat goes my heart

learning to let go

I found this so sad...Mothers do have to learn to let go, but Mary had to learn so much more...

thanks, Marie, you are right, It must have been a consolation to her that she had these very good moments as well
