like a starburst in the sky
the word goes out––
a baby boy
is born
in a dark time,
God sends
light in the form
of a sprawling, beaming
child
what is it like
to open your eyes
in this world
for the first time?
creature gazing out
over creation––
a beginning…
a blessing…
this child is made of
nothing less
than love &
hope¬¬––
he is a human
being
he is life
giving people
yet another
chance
& nature teaching
human kind
to live & finally
care
for one another
& God saw
this was very very
good
