An Honorable Man

A simple carpenter
the father of Jesus
an honorable man
living out compassion
in mercy desiring
to send her away
yet heeding the angel
letting her stay
Wanting to be faithful
to the calling of God
submitting his planning
his life in his hands
giving this over
to raise the Son of Man
