Advent Paradox
- Details
- Written November 2023
Expected, but unexpected,
Promised and accepted
As an extraordinarily planned baby
Who comes in simplicity and innocence,
Untainted by a world of desire
Erupting into envy and anger.
But he's willing to bear all of that
In a life of selflessness,
As an incubator down the road
Switches off in deprivation
And the other child dies helpless,
While we light an advent candle,
Still committed, and with hope.
