There’s a certain symmetry
to walking the streets
delivering cards

These cards depict
the familiar scene
of Mary and Joseph

They’re kneeling beside
the only famous
manger known

Here the newborn
Christ-child lies,
come to walk in ours

I’ve been delivering the church’s Christmas cards around our local streets today, pondering the Christmas story as I did so (John 1:14).
