Christmas 2013



This holy night
we wait in silent expectation
looking forward for
       presents
       family
       food
       peace

This holy night
this not so silent night
echoes with Mary’s cry
filled with pain, hope terror, wonder
at what is happening to her
her world
at this birth
weeping in relief and joy
the baby joins her symphony

This holy night
this not so silent night
echoes with child cries
sitting on Santa’s knee hungry
trapped in violence
lost in poverty
homeless in a car

This holy night
this not so silent night
echoes with all God hopes for
food for all
hope for all
water for all
peace for all
homes for all
joy for all
a place for all
love for all

May this holy night bring all that you hope for
