A Christmas Poem, just for you

A very happy Christmas to all our wonderful readers and authors from everyone at Sacristy Press.

Happy Christmas

Just a little star,
Nothing very bright,
Breaking through the cloud
On a rainy night.

Just a little lamb,
Taken from the fold
Bleating for a smile,
Something warm to hold.

Just a little child,
Not an emperor,
Bringing love and hope
To the weak and poor.

Now a mega star
Lights our shepherd king,
Child and lamb and star,
Lord of everything.

From As I Walked by Kevin Carey
