Sonnets for Advent: Monday week 2

Based on Psalm 43:3-5

One night in lowly Bethlehem a child
was born. This common miracle of life
was even greater miracle by means
of virgin womb. Impossible! And more
impossible, this fragile baby boy
was very God and very man in flesh.
He was the Truth and Light sent from the LORD
to live and die, redeem and act as guide
unto that holy hill, the altar and
the dwelling of my God. And there in joy
I’ll dance and sing, basking inside the love
that He showed clearly by redeeming me.
Though my life here a weary journey be,
I’ll hope in God who sent True Light to me.
