A-Poem-a-Day Until Christmas...
Merry Christmas!
My brand new 2022 Christmas poem follows:
A CHRISTMAS POEM FOR 2022
It’s seven o’clock in the evening
The house is quiet
I’m sitting at the table
with my notebook open
and a pen in my hand
Christmas is still a few months away, but
I’m thinking about the birth of Jesus—
Hoping for an inspiration
for a Christmas poem for 2022
My thoughts turn to Mary—
I imagine her cradling her baby boy
Perhaps she’s singing a lullaby
perhaps she’s smiling as He coos
maybe she’s caressing His cheek
or tickling his neck, or kissing
His sleepy face
I don’t think she’s thinking
about how a savior saves
The tableau of my thoughts
is filled with heavenly peace
After decades pass
and His work is almost finished
Mary stands beside the Cross—
No one can imagine the depth
of her sorrow as she looks up into His eyes
I’m sure she isn’t thinking
about my salvation and yours
sure she isn’t thinking of her own
Mary doesn’t see the Savior of the world
Her beloved Son is dying
Mary’s tears are falling
Her mother heart is broken
God’s marvelous plan is in motion
Resurrection is coming
and so are the hallelujahs
