Only by the angel’s intervention
the story we all know;
only because of the divine messenger
was the story to unfold
Joseph was prepared
ready
to
send her away in secret,
to avoid her public humiliation,
her stoning by the people
Only when the messenger
the angels spoke to him;
only then was the story changed
with Joseph being faithful
Taking on the responsibility
for his pregnant bride
her unborn child his responsibility too;
even naming him Jesus
for He was to heal us
and bring us to the Creator
