Oh she can do the whole housekeeping thing,
the cooking, the cleaning, the busy bustle of life
But she would happily sit at the Master’s feet
maybe bringing her husband, her children along
if there was room. She would sit and bask
in the singular opportunity at the Master’s feet
far more Mary than Martha and happier for it.
