Poetry list
telling the difference
how different is
a baby God once
conceived and
born he is formed
like us all and
imprisoned in
flesh and time
or is there a
difference awe
is the difference
it is the wonder
of infinite love
swaddled and held
by us all the
tiny helpless life
warmed and fed
by another – you
– me his arms
we fold in ours
will cradle all the
pain and darkness
of our human lot
on a lonely tree
here is kingship
power and glory
that cares and
triumphs in our
fear and not our
strength if we forget
there is no
telling
