Our Lady by Kai-Anne Clews

That wry and sneaky serpent, Who procured that yes through Eve, Who to darkness became a handmaid, When by that tree was then deceived. The crunch then of the Apple Between the jaws of the virgin tossed Caused all humanity to grapple, Be fallen, blind and lost. It be true to Gods economy The balance of the world Both the fall and the fortune Come to humanity through a young girl. The yes of Eve is nullified By the Yes of Mary Virgin Queen Humanity re-purified Liberated and cleaned. The crunch then of the serpents’ head The skull to meet the jaws – Under the dainty foot of Mary Who Her Jesus so adores. That old snake forswore the doom of man And entered through a girl – It is fit to Gods economy that Who should defeat him should be this pearl. No other loved Jesus better No saint a closer bond can boast Than that of gentle Mary Who loved her son the most. All will come to sit with Her, At the foot of Calvary’s cross – Her intercession to defer And protect us from that loss – Of one thief gone to damnation, The other safe in grace - One led to liberation Inseparable now from Gods embrace. She prays so for the children, That we may then incline, To procure the gift of forgiveness While there is still yet time. Her Hope Her Faith Her Charity Are the workbook to discover She teaches us better imitation Of Her Son than any other. I love Mary, & on this, the 13th of May, I sing of all her sweetness and Recommending her heart I say – Turn then quick to Mary And through Her Son be saved.
