Here's a re-post of a poem I shared last year. I enjoyed writing it and it always makes me smile to read it again during the Christmas season ...
 |
| Adoration of the Shepherds SCHONGAUER |
Gently
rocking, faith is born
On a quiet Christmas morn.
No balloons or cake with candles
Just a humble man in sandals
With his newly mothered wife
Marveling at the Gift of Life.
Crunchy
straw and lowing cattle,
Little birds that flit and rattle,
Sheep with wooly winter coats
Watch the babe in manger boat,
In the darkness of the night--
Can this baby bring us light?
Little
seeds of faith are falling
Round this scene, yet to us calling
Sprouting up for thousand years
Driving out our doubts and fears

| Mary and the Angels by BOUGUEREAU |
Into green and vibrant wonders.
