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
