Advent in Samoa

Advent in Samoa

(Written at the end of the Diocese of Polynesia Year of Youth Event in Samoa)

Hot days

Sun blazing

Water dripping

We wait

Here I am

Here we are

In Samoa

3 candles lit

All saints we gather

We wait

Listening for an infant’s cry

Looking for glimmers of hope

Here we are

Send us

Christ is being born among us

Christ is being born in us

And in the moana

Do we just sing a carol

Pray a prayer

Or clap our hands?

Or do we live this birth

Leaving footprints sprinkled with good news?

God waits

In Samoa
