And Gabriel said.
you are to be a Dad.
And Zachariah said,
who me?
And Gabriel said,
yes, you.
And Zachariah said,
but I’m old
Elizabeth is old, too
you must be crazy.
And Gabriel said,
the Lord sent me with
this announcement but you
are having none of it,
And Zachariah tried to
answer but was unable
And Gabriel said,
God expected you to listen
so now you can listen but not speak.
And Zachariah had to go
about his work with no words.
And Gabriel said,
you’ll be okay
go to Elizabeth
And Zachariah went to Elizabeth
who indeed got pregnant,
And Zachariah wished he
he could say,
as the Lord wills.
All that I have seen teaches me to trust the Creator for all I have not seen.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
