A Christmas Verse On the spiritual time-line was planted a seed Twice a millennium ‘neath rafters of reed And a flower came forth in a small humble room From the center of mankind’s most delicate womb The universe sent down a song from afar And Love filled the stable with light from a star A beacon of wonder, a lighthouse to men Off the shores of despair in an undertow’s blend A cradle of glory, a trundle of life Sent out lifelines to pull in the weight of their strife Just a sweet newborn child, just a small naked boy Was the purpose for faith and the reasonfor joy Two thousand the times that the hourglass turned Two million the times that a candle was burned A hundred white lights shine upon you and me Through millenniums’ branch on an evergreen tree Elizabeth Santos October 25, 2002 [This message has been edited by Elizabeth Santos (10-25-2002 05:36 AM).] |
