A gifted purse – v2

I watched her gathering her change,
from a treasured gifted purse,
gilded, beautiful, a keepsake,
in texture, in gold and blues.
 
A representation of Mary, of Jesus,
the Madonna and child,
Eastern Orthodox iconography,
a talisman, tangible, a memory,
of that singular moment in time.
 
God come from heaven,
born to Mary, this Jesus,
fully God, fully man, precious,
held in the arms of Mary, His mother,
the nativity, His whole life…
