A Poem

I promised in my very first blog I would share some poetry... well here it is! I wrote this piece while studying Italian Renaissance art in Florence. The Madonna and Child is one of the most sacred and beloved symbols of Catholism. Mary repeatedly wears a forlorn look signifying her knowledge of her son's fate. Being as it is the Christmas season, this poem seemd fitting.

"My Baby Boy"

Sweet child I am here
Queen of Heaven, Mother to you.
Kiss my cheek
hold my hand.
They can't harm you now.
You are mine.
Darling baby your fate is sad
Savior of men, Son of God.
Close your eyes
don't worry, I am here.
Guiding you.
Loving you.
My Child God.
My baby boy.
