This is a love song from St Joseph to our Blessed Mother. A relationship so pure. A relationship so humble. Love expressed in silence. A love magnified in modesty. A love shown through uncompromising respect. Here is a love song from St Joseph to his spouse, our Blessed Mother. I guess this must be truly a song in his heart for his beloved.

When I first saw you, O Mary!

Beautiful as you were, your eyes spoke a thousand words.

The mild smile on your face, but the fear in your eyes.

That was the day Mary, I knew the Almighty’s plan.

When I first saw you, O Mary!

And even though, I doubted.

And even though, I too was scared.

And even though, i had no idea what the future holds for us.

I knew for sure, that God will hold our hands forever to lead us ahead.

When I first saw you, O Mary.

Remember, those days towards Bethlehem.

A firm leap of faith.

Your face O Mary, gave me strength.

I used to smile as i sometimes looked at you, sitting on the donkey.

Thinking and thanking the Lord, for giving me you.

O how blessed i am to find someone like you.

Telling myself these words.

If need be, i will lay my life down for you.

When I first saw you, my Lady!

Of all the hardships that we bore, i only wish that all those be mine.

To make a life for you simple and sweet.

My love, there is none like you.

For in you I have found the true meaning of love.

For in you love was magnified.

For you carried Love in your womb.

I knew I can never love you as much as you love me.

But this I know for sure, O love!

All of me, is for you.

Now and forever.

With love, Joseph.
