THE DRAWING OF MARY
The drawing of Mary came to me
Early in my healing
She spoke to me and I spoke back:
“Help me draw your nose,” I said,
“I’m having a problem with this feature;”
And she did complete her picture
I was moved to tears by Mary’s image
A smile so sweet and face angelic
She looked at me with so much compassion
Gave me hope and protection
Told me I had been given a gift
To create and to inspire
I would be alright
