of the blind.
The LORD lifts up those who
are bowed down;
the LORD loves the
righteous. Psalm 146:8
when i am tempted
to place myself
in bondage to debt
to show how much i love
others,
set me free to give them
myself instead;
when the glitter, the tinsel,
all the bright shiny
got-to-have-or-elses
cause me to
squeeze my eyes tight shut,
open them, so i can see the
snow falling gently
on a winter's night;
when i can only think that all
the names on all the lists
are the only ones that matter,
may the shepherds
stop me to tell
(with wonder and delight)
of the hope they just met
in a bairn.
of the hope they just met
in a bairn.
