A seasonal poem. If you like it, please pass it on. (Just give me credit and tell your friends about this blog. Thanks.)
our births into this manger earth
we share because there is never
enough room at the inn
and only our fellow creatures
can keep us from the cold.
welcomes the way the light grows
just when it seems the darkness
has won, making each day
a present we unwrap to see
how we can make it fit
since it cannot be returned.
marks the journey we all make,
bearing whatever gifts we have,
following whichever star
we choose, trying to be wise
enough to realize each step
is worth our wonder.
Christmas
celebrates the miracle
of allour births into this manger earth
we share because there is never
enough room at the inn
and only our fellow creatures
can keep us from the cold.
welcomes the way the light grows
