A Penitent Considers Another Coming Of Mary Poem by Gwendolyn Brooks

A Penitent Considers Another Coming Of Mary

Rating: 4.7


For Reverend Theodore Richardson

If Mary came would Mary
Forgive, as Mothers may,
And sad and second Saviour
Furnish us today?

She would not shake her head and leave
This military air,
But ratify a modern hay,
And put her Baby there.

Mary would not punish men—
If Mary came again.

A Penitent Considers Another Coming Of Mary, and.....? I wish to know the answer, but I am afraid the Reverend Theodore Richardson is no more now and so is the poetess Mary would not punish men— If Mary came again.............with a question to our sins? ! A fascinating write, a powerful poem. To the family of the poetess: Congratulations on being chosen as the Modern Poem Of The Day. God Bless You All.
