Warning: Christmas spirit ahead... proceed with kleenex

Ember was given a writing prompt today, and this is the poem she wrote.  Wow.

"I am"

I am Mary.
I wonder what my baby boy will bring to the world.
I hear my baby.
I see the Savior.
I want my boy to save the world.
I am Mary.

I understand that my baby will leave me someday.
I say, "I love you my boy".
I dream that Jesus is the Savior.
I try to be a good mother.
I hope that He will love me.
I am Mary.
