Out of wedlock the child will come.
\nA mother stricken by her daughter’s misfortune,
\nalone and accursed.
\nI give my heart to the mother
\nof the mother.
\nThat she be at peace.
\nThat her grandchild
\ncome into an accepting world.
\nThat she remember the interregnum
\nended by a birth.
\nThe faith of her religion.
\nA prophet bringing love.
\nA god if you choose.
\nThat love is an imperative
\nstronger than death.
\nThat the young bear the children
\nof our race in innocence.<\/p>\n
Peace on earth if a child is wanted.
\nPeace on earth if a child is loved,
\nPeace on earth if innocence
\nis not called sin.
\nThen let life go on,
\nLet wisdom grow in the girl
\nlike the child.
\nLet hope swell in her heart,
\nand do not be surprised
\nby the entrance of purity.
\nThe coming of the wise.
\nIt happens all the time.
\nGenesis and birth,
\nand a child,
\ndelivered to your arms
\nfrom the hands of a God.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
