A Christmas poem
Stop. Do you not know?
Life doesn’t have to be this way;
something new can be born in your heart today.
Listen. Have you not heard?
Your whole being sings the love song of Christ;
this world is drenched in the wonder of his light.
Breathe. Will you accept it?
You can let your striving fall away;
let it dissolve into beauty and grace.
Open your eyes. Can you see it?
You have nothing to prove, nothing to fear;
God is with us, heaven is here.
Gideon Heugh
