MEDITATION AT CHRISTMAS
Christ, you were born with power
enough to fell a universe of
enemies of God,
but you reached out a hand
and smiled at fearful shepherds
and star-gazing kings.
Among the thunder of wars:
oppression, prejudice, meaningless death,
senseless abuse of power,
you walked to save us all;
free us from the curse that we deserve –
the fear of death.
And in your holy name
help me to do the same.
