(Luke 1:30)
Under the taut swell of her belly He moved.
She knew He was eager.
She felt alone although He had two fathers.
She knew she would never fully understand.
The enormity of the decision was a weight that grew with each dawn.
The gold, frankincense and myrrh were acknowledgement of what she knew to be true
but they did nothing to diminish her concerns.
The first and only one in her position, only Elizabeth could give scant counsel
She also knew that what was given was holy and, though darkness raged at her door, she would be obedient.
