God's Ponderings: A Poem for Christmas

God’s Ponderings

(a poem for Christmas)

Life given as beginnings

a garden so

quickly lost

A people chosen not for

pride of nation

but to reflect

my light

Laws for their good

shared in stone

but broken all

too soon

Prophet’s voices echoing

warnings of love

but ignored in

their constant wilderness

So what shall I do

to gain their

wandering attention?

I know…

This time I will

give them me

No more signs pointing

my way

I will make it personal

full of flesh and blood

and wrapped

in my love for them

Surrounded by surprise

this appearance

of mine

will be

An accepting woman-

A bewildered man-

A helpless child-

Ah yes, that’s what

I’ll do

this time-

I think I will

call it

Christmas

Merry Christmas to all,

Jody
