The
wonder
of Christmas
is in the pondering
A miracle birth and
knowledge of the future
that life ends as miraculously as it began
that one child's birth made it victorious
a reunion with the Creator who was made Flesh
one cold night in a stable in a humble manger
announced by angels singing Hosanna In the Highest
sought by wise men who saw the Star that led their way
where animals witnessed along side shepherds
a mother who kept all these things and pondered them in her heart
and
believed
To ponder, is to be a Mother, they are like that. I love the shape of your poem, curiously like a tree?
