This National Poetry Month I will be posting a sequence of poems, written last year and this year, for others in a series called Giving Poetry. In this series, people request a poem using a title, specific words, concepts, or ideas. After writing the poem, I send it to them, posting it on Facebook and on my blog. This is Giving Poetry.
God's beautiful gift to us
God's Beautiful Gift To Us: for Fred
God's beautiful gift to us
Was wrapped small and tight
In swaddling clothes
In the star lit night
Heaven and earth collided
In manger and in stall
To reveal the love of God
For one and for all
God's beautiful gift to us
In a package humble and small
Ushers in God’s Kingdom
Giving life and restoration to the fall
