We can only imagine

The lonely trek

Of Mary and Joseph

To Bethlehem

Amid the dangers

Of bandits

And

Wind and rain

Or

Hot baking sun.

Yet one expectant night

To a waiting world

Choirs of Angels

And flocking shepherds

Will hail

The advent of the Child

As we will soon

In the comfort of our hearts

Filled

With his Peace and Love!

Come, Lord!
