Disappointment and tears could be seen in his face
As he wrestled alone in despair and disgrace
The news Mary shared was too hard to believe
The child, she said, was divinely conceived.
The Torah made clear the demand she could face
With a verdict of guilt her demise would take place
But love for his bride turned from justice to grace
So a quiet divorce was the choice put in place.
His burden weighed heavy far into the night
When suddenly an angel appeared within sight
"Fear not to take Mary, the Child she holds
Is placed there by God as the prophet's foretold."
So Joseph took Mary and made her his wife
Who later birthed Jesus God's free Gift of Life
His death on the cross made atonement for sin
And all who receive Him find Peace deep within.
B. Pent
