Visiting a favorite cousin.
Who would have guessed-
Elizabeth bearing a child,
after all these years.
Mary too carrying
a great Secret.
Though what to say-
an angel in the kitchen?
Then telling Joseph,
and that he understood-
noble carpenter.
And now the stirring,
the child suddenly exuberant
inside Elizabeth,
excited as she is
to have Mary in the house.
How blessed those who believe
when God promises.
