A CHRISTMAS POEM
AMAZING:
That You should choose the night
And bathe the dark awash in light!
AMAZING:
That You should come so small
And not look like a king at all.
AMAZING:
That straw should line Your bed,
The throne to which Your sheep are led.
AMAZING:
That wise men chart a star
To seek and find You where You are!
The star in darkness;
Straw and sheep;
Shepherds, angels --
Symbols deep.
AMAZING:
That You should choose these signs --
Such simple ones, like bread and wine.
In all our darkness
Pierce our night.
Let Love shine forth
To be our LIGHT!
Anne Therese Dillen, OSU
