The Stable

For many people, Christmas is about the loneliest time of the year. For all of us in our lonely moments, here is a poem I found yesterday:

The winds were scornful,
Passing by;
And gathering Angels
Wondered why

A burdened Mother
Did not mind
That only animals
Were kind.

For who in all the world
Could guess
That God would search out
Loneliness.
