Virgin Mary Haiku







Fat babe in her arms,
she looks on with mother's love
fair Queen of Heaven.




Fill your heart with Virgin images
and celebrate Haiku My Heart Friday.

Meri,
Today, I can post a comment. This is a beautiful image, Mary is resplendent and the chubby baby is cherubic. I adore her face! I love that you are finding these tin paintings. I think that they are so lovely! Your haiku is wonderful. "Fair Queen of heaven" !
