GloPoWriMo Day Eight

O María

María, María, María

My alternative self. A saint's name

María, María, María

The holy, chosen one to carry God's son


Everyone's expecting on your future

So you do this, don't do that

You're a saint, for God's sake


María, I know, deep in your heart,

Molded by the hand of God,

Still of human flesh you are made,

And so I won't praise your name.


I did not ask for this task

Or did I?

I just wanted to serve God

To carry His presence and put my hands to work

For the Kindom that's come, 

But my flesh...

My flesh...


María, María, María

I cry out to God for you

María, María, oh María

Craft my heart, oh God, and mold my flesh


I'm actually really proud of it.

By the way, I loved the two poems pointed out from today's featured journal.
